Turbulent - I'm so jealous - wish I was back in LB - I flew out of Pacific Air just next to LBFC. The flying in the States is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone. My QXC was Laughlin (Nevada) - Sedona (Arizona) - Grand Canyon - Henderson (Las Vegas). It's got to be the most spectacular trip I've ever done - although trying to climb to 11,500 to join the agreed VFR routes at the Grand Canyon proved too exhausting in a C172 at the end of a long day so after getting a couple of snaps, I descended and left the SVFR area to go to Vegas. Landing at Vegas just after sunset was unforgettable.
