    Thanks for showcasing the part of the world I was born in and lived until Uncle Sam called. Born on China Lake Navy Base (that big restricted area) and lived in Inyokern. Explored that area many times. We used to do Thanksgiving dinner in Death Valley. Great video.

    Thanks for flying around my backyard. BTW... the Inyokern airport (IYK) is on the boarder of Inyo and Kern Counties.

    I just flew into lone Pine Death Valley, north of where you were the other day in Xplane what an amazing view.

    What a hoofing day out! GA is permissible in the UK but with a few conditions. Many in the UK are getting back into it and the skies are filling up. Meanwhile, I'm planning trips around the UK ;) Cheers.

    Hi John, you missed one amazing place to land North of Darwin in Saline Valley, the Chicken Strip and the hot springs there. I was born and raised in Trona and we have some great off airport places around there. Goler Heights would have been another great place to land as well. I am currently working towards my Private Pilot Certificate and am moving to Kern River Valley to retire and spend many years flying the Mojave and Sierras. Thanks for visiting and for your Ground School.

    Love the scenery out there. Will you be making a video about your trip to the Chicken Strip? Saw you visited there back in October.

    Say HI to Dustin for me... I'm surprised you didn't stop in at Rosamond L00 for some real food. Nice video...Ron

    Was that Star Wars Canyon you flew over on the north side of China Lake? Also, do you have more on the trip between the pinnacles and Inyokern? I'm moving to Vegas and planning to visit friends in Ridgecrest.

  • @VanPray
    @VanPray Před 4 lety +2

    You missed Saline Valley hot springs. One of the best spots.

    • @FLY8MA

    I guess that place with the piano is Trevor Philips' property, although there are a lot more morons in the Grand Senora Desert :-))

    why would an airline pilot be worried about flying at night? lol

    • @petercoquillette5202
      @petercoquillette5202 Před 4 lety

      Cuz the planes/airports they use aren’t equipped for that kind of thing as much

    • @Gary.7920
      @Gary.7920 Před 4 lety

      That which is a minor inconvenience during the day can be life-threatening at night. When that single-engine stops you have no alternatives.

    @1drwang Před 4 lety +1

    As a visitor to another’s home, it is customary to make an honest effort in pronouncing their place names. As a pilot of the eastern Sierra and Nevada, I can say you missed........badly.
