Now on our way northwards with a quick turnaround at Red Bluff then on to …. let’s call it O46 … then into Ashland, a lovely airfield in beautiful natural surroundings and an interesting town. And the beer was good.

Stats: 3.3 hrs logged, 2.6 hrs flown, 232 nm track.

Letting down into O46

Here’s a happy guy: he’s just done Weed (O46) in California
and he knows he’s just a 30 min leg from getting into Oregon and finding a burger and a few beers.

And this guy looks just as happy!
