Things seemed a little choppy at the start, battling some bad weather IRL

I could not attend last week’s world tour stage, so I was happy to fly today in what was as usual a fun community flight!

Yesterday’s event had a pretty scenic route, I really liked all those mountains and the sunset made it even more beautiful. :sunrise_over_mountains: Also all that talk about sushi made me realize I haven’t made sushi in a while. :sushi: (I can’t cook, but I like making sushi. Pretty sure they are not traditional, but my friends praised them in the past. :slight_smile: ).
