If you've only flown in FL, you haven't LIVED yet my friend...Just flew the entire length of the West Coast today with a CA who had spent several years on the Bro in FAT...we flew right over FAT-town, Mt. Shasta, Crater Lake, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, etc...
Let me tell you - if it is breathtaking from FL370, it's AMAZING from the mid-20's in the Bro...going by what he said, it's the best flying you'll ever do in the 121 world out of FAT, flying throughout the California system. Can't wait to upgrade into it!
Congrats and welcome aboard!
