I agreed with Jamie a second flight, a cross country flight. Two friends joined. First stop was Kingman airport is 85 miles South-East and is the nearest (small) aircraft graveyard. The weather was getting bad, thus we decided to take fuel and leave immediately towards Lake Havasu City Airport. The second stop was Lake Havasu City Airport. After a steep descend we had lunch at the airport. We left Lake Havasu City Airport with bad weather, going west to cross the Mojave desert. We saw some old volcanoes, with nice patterns of lava flows. We left the bad weather behind us landed at Baker. After a short stop we went straight back to Las Vegas. |
