Santa Fe to San Diego

I flew my Cessna 140 from Santa Fe, NM to San Diego, Ca. This 600 nm flight took almost 12 hours. From St Johns to Scottsdale I had groundspeeds of 40-55 knots while cruising around 92 knots.

I landed in St Johns for fuel, Scottsdale, Blythe, and finally Montgomery field in San Diego.

I think I missed filming the takeoff at St Johns, fortunately though I left in time because there was about 40 kt winds from then on until I got into the Phoenix area.

The airplane is a 1946 Cessna 140 with an O-200A.

Nice vid. Nothing like a classic C140. Do you keep your plane at SAF? I've been flying out of SAF for the past year.

What kind of equipment did you use to shoot video and how did you mount

Great watching.

[MisterWillie060]

The camera is just a JVC Everio. It's mounted to a tripod thats kind of shoved halfassedly into my bags in the baggage area.

Very impressive landings in some super windy conditions. I'm about 1/2 way finished with my TD endorsement in my Dad's 120. Nosedraggers are not as fun!

Good job!
