Generic picture, but this is how you stay precisely on the arrival in a /W airplane in an RNAV world...follow the 777 :D .
 
Way too much glass. :)

Luckily, it's not all that accurate, so I still get to do my math to make sure it'll make it.

I was just excited we had decent sized coffee cups yesterday. I did get my boots polished as they look pretty sad in that picture....

Mach .83, that's moving along pretty good...mmmmm, speed (and not the druggy kind)
 
Took a little different route today, and a little lower....camera phone quality, but it was fun, and smooth as glass.

Interesting rock outcropping... ;)

The last one is near Agua Dulce - L70(I would put money on that being where it is anyways.) and is because of the San Andreas fault right there. Fun and interesting little place to land if you don't have much power.

about like those.
As for the others, either it's gotten much greener since I left... yesterday or the desert has already made me think any green is more than I have to look at.
 
Polar's pic reminded me of this one I just took:

RUT-1.jpg


Overflying the airport I was based at during the summer of 2009 with Cape Air. Almost died on a weekly basis in a 402 down there in RUT. Talk about surreal overflying it on the way to Shannon, not two years later. LEB was my diversion field when RUT would get too out of hand. I won't lie though, I miss the hell out of it!
 
That looks like the radio antennae just outside of Snowshoe, WV. If it is that one, it is or at least was back in 2005, the largest moveable radio dish with the largest single ball bearing in the country, or maybe it was the world. I can't remember but impressive nonetheless.

I'm a little late to the game here, but I'm pretty sure that's the Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, WV. http://www.nrao.edu/index.php/learn/gbsc

A very impressive piece of engineering.
