That was neat, I couldn't find the field until you were almost on it LOL. There's a black dot on the windshild, I thought it was a boogie but you were never going to catch it. My TrackIR wouldn't work at all. That drives me crazy anymore.

As soon as we got over the mountains, we hit a few bugs 8-) . I wish I would have filmed our takeoff. Right as we were about to rotate(100kts) a gopher ran across the runway and we crushed it with the front landing gear. My dad and I were laughing all the way up to 27K. RIP Mr. Gopher.

As we were cruising, Yuma Center called in traffic at our 12 o clock 10 miles, 700 ft above us, and it turned out to be a C-130 and it passed us head on, on our right side 300 yards away. I was fumbling for my phone to take a picture but it was too late. We were so close we could see the pilots haha. Closest I have ever been to oncoming traffic. What a sight

That bug splat at 5:05 looked like an ack burst.
