@killbilly , the trick is to watch the sunrise in the west. As soon as it sets, climb at Vx and watch it rise a bit as you climb.

That's a heck of an idea. Never occurred to me to try that. My wife, however, is a sunset junkie, so I am totally going to take her up and try this.

One of the guys I used to fly with out here is ex Israeli AF. He told me a story once where he was flying an F16/C and 'raised the sun" 10 times while climbing out.
