  1. A little over an hour. Either; bay bridge -> 680S -> 580E -> Grant Line Rd -> Mountain Home -> Byron HWY or if the bridge is F***ed 280S -> 101S -> 92E -> 80N -> 238E -> 580E ... Great place to take AFF.

  12. Think about this, You probably have 2 out because you had a Cypres fire. Do you really want to induce a downplane below 750 feet? If it's flying, land it. Trust me, I know
  13. The bag probably had enough drag to stand him up, so when the bag-lock cleared he had been in a stand for a while. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago but I had only been stood up for a couple of seconds when it cleared. Didn't break my back, but it hurt.
  14. Yeah, ask Peter (titanium legs) Learmouth
  15. Like you said, unless you have VERY large bandwidth ;)
