Description: |
MFC0046 Rockies 6 - Redding, California to Boise, Idaho (KRDD-KBOI)
We continue northward in our mountain journey (#6) from Redding California to the land of potatoes. “Spud” town as it were!
Again we’ll be crossing rugged terrain in this trip so a heavier duty aircraft is in order as we navigate through river valleys, canyons and mountains.
-------------------------------------
All landings in this excursion are again nice land runways. There are 18 weaving legs in this trip.
This is a very high and low and slow trip but at times will need a more powerful aircraft.
Recommendation is a twin engine aircraft: standard or turbo prop which has enough power to quickly climb and also to navigate the
twists and turns IE: Beech 18, AC500, Twotter DHC6, or a Twin Cessna perhaps. I might try the Beech 18 in this trip but feel free
to fly the aircraft of your choosing.
For the helicopter pilots out there a more rugged helicopter might provide a better ability to navigate this excursion rather than
a lighter one. But again whatever works for you.
-----------------------------------------------
(Floats or amphibians are not necessary in this excursion!!)
