N291DR 2.7 Trip to Red Hills airstrip

Trip to Red Hills airstrip for pre-Easter airplane shindig. 3 landings. Qualifies as Sport Pilot XC.

Flew over the hills East of San Jose outbound, then cut across the Central Valley. First leg 70.9 nautical miles straight line distance.

Returned "low and slow" and did one landing and takeoff at New Jerusalem.

Then flew through the Altamont Pass, over the Livermore Valley and Del Valle reservoir, through the Sunol Pass, down South to the West of Mission Peak, and came in for a very short landing. :) ATC was like, "You need a taxiway between Alpha and Bravo for that one!"
