2023-08-15-Mountain-Flying-Cherokee-180-Chris-Jones: Colorado Pilots Mountain Flying Course with Chris Jones, flown on Tuesday, August 15, 2023. The Leadville Golden Burro has gone "full vegan" is closed on Monday and Tuesday, so we found a BBQ place for lunch. We followed the CPA Mountain Flying Course route of KFNL, KGNB, 20V, KGNB, flew by Aspen (KASE) and stopped at Leadville (KLXV) for lunch. The return trip was KLXV south toward Buena Vista (KAEJ), then over Fairplay and west of Mount Evans, back to KFNL. There was lift to work after about 10am. :-) 08/15/23
