N9143H, just at Sunrise, around 5:30AM, about to depart on my way down to Havasu (HII) for the checkride.

Mountains and desert in every direction, in the early morning, on the way to the checkride

My DPE for the CFI checkride was Mr. Joseph La Placa.
|
After the checkride, Joe showing off his plane. Restored from the ground up he said, and looked great.
|
He had a ride with the FAA later that day. Not many examiners out there do Multi-engine Seaplane rides, let alone own one, I'd guess.
|
Getting out on rwy 32, about to leave Lake Havasu, AZ (HII) a short time after passing my CFI checkride.

Lake Mojave

Realized I don't have pictures of other planes there, but there are quite a few. Just didn't remember to always have the digicam with me.

Back near HND, the range ahead blocks view of the Vegas area
|
Ridge to be crossed, I'm about 4800' MSL now, ground a little below that, Class B starts at 5000.

Crossing I'm about 4800' MSL, decending, with HND about 8 miles out
|
A few miles out from HND, Vegas could be seen in the distance if the quality of the pict was better
|
Setting up for a straight in to HND, backward winds for the last landing there of my trip, turned the airport around
|
Had me slide over to the right at the last
|
HND is about 5NM from LAS
|
On the ground at HND, pict of the tower, with what will likely be my last operation out of that airport for a while at least
