Flight around the US border continues. Continuing from 9S2 (Scobey) in northeast Montana, flew about halfway through the state to KSBX (Shelby). 256nm flight, around 2 hours 9 minutes of flight time. Decided to fly IFR this time even though the situation didn’t require it, flew the RNAV 23 JIKBO approach.
I put in that I wanted the YENUP transition but for some reason it kept on giving me the WEBVO, which takes you at a weird 45 degee angle out, up to 9k, before bringing you back down to YENUP at 7k. Just deleted the WEBVO from the G1000 flight plan as I just wanted the YENUP transition.
Another very little multiplayer flight, I saw one Darkstar when taking off, looks like another failed attempt as I saw him quickly dropping down from 120k feet. Only saw one other multiplayer plane the entire trip, this is the second trip in a row (yesterday was crossing from North Dakota into Montana) with very little multiplayer. Granted, these are morning flights and I know this isn’t a popular and/or populated area but still is strange compared to being on the east coast and having my screen full of multiplayer planes/jets.
Taking off from 9S2…
Midway through flight, nice little canyon area in northern Montana…
Starting to see some of the mountains of western Montana and Glacier National Park in the distance…
Landing at KSBX…
