We got to see a show in Las Vegas, fly over the Gran Canyon, attend the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta while visiting friends and family along the way. The weather wasn't perfect the entire time. We had to divert almost 75 miles to avoid thunderstorms on a flight between Alabama and Texas. We actually had to stay a few days extra in El Paso, TX while a hurricane, Hurricane Rosa, passed over Arizona. We had to leave Albuquerque, NM a day early since a severe cold front was headed there. But overall, it was a great trip.

We called it the "Jesus Bolt" because if it broke you would meet Jesus. BTW: The Nomad is the most effective counter-narcotics aircraft ever used by US Customs Aviation Operations. It has legendary status with those of us that flew counter-narcotics missions. On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 5:40 PM Graham Brighton wrote: > Great Trip ... thanks for sharing ....
