 |

I flew down to Santa Teresa (5T6) just for a quickie look. I flew
east of White Sands and was able to cut the corner of the
southernmost restricted area thanks to the ELP controller. This
was not the first time I was able to do that.
I was surprised to see so many RVs already there at around 130 PM.
After getting gas then taking care of other details, I saw my two favorite
people. No names but they seem to win something at the raffle every year.
I strolled through about half of the RVs and there were beaucoup nice
looking airplanes. If you want to get ideas on paint schemes this is
a great place to do it.
The day was clear, the ride smooth most of the time and I did not
penetrate any active restricted areas. Plus I reached 1000 hours in an
RV on the way down.
The trip back was along I-25 then crossed over towards Las Vegas NM
near Socorro NM then roughly north along I-25. Total around 700 nm in
6.6 hours (including taxi time) and about 44 gallons of gas. Considering
that I did not start until 1000 local and got home before dark that is a nice
day trip.
