Description:
The third SeaRey day ended out on the plains in Pueblo not long after the sun had set.
Peli’s Daily Flight Log reads as follows:
Pueblo (PUB) to the Green River (splash)
Then to the Colorado River (splash)
Then to Grand Junction (GJT), 4.1 hours
GJT to T###### (redacted) Lake (splish?)
Then to Lake County (LXI) airport, Leadville, CO, 2.1 hours
Then to Pueblo Memorial (PUB) airport, CO, 2.2 hours
Or a total flight time of 8.4 hours.
“The straight line distance from Provo to Pueblo is 355 nm, or 5.1 hours at 70 kts. Only a 61% efficiency rating today. Pitiful.”
“Hey, that’s not bad. No one can fly a straight line through the mountains unless you're in a jet. Besides, it’s all the Democrats’ fault. Who told them to hold a convention in Denver and close down 40 miles of sky?”
“You are just like the Democrats: ‘It’s always someone else’s fault.’”
“And you are just like the Republicans: ‘It’s always not my fault.’”

Dan, fantastic pics and stories, first rate as usual. You help take us to places many of us will never see ourselves.<br /><br />Is # 39 the end of this series, or do you have more coming? I have some to post but didn't want to interrupt these terrific pics of your trip.
