hfrensch Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 My Jab is SP500 6cyl. I am glad you enjoyed your flight flyerme, we might do it again soon . For anyone interested in landing at Shirlock make sure you are up to date with short field procedures , as the runway looks very short as you fly over it and seems to get shorter on final.
