airport called the mesa grill so we're gonna go grab a late lunch it's gonna be about an hour and 20 minute flight here from kingman i don't know what kind of drive it is i think it's a three and a

people uh left seat she's flying left seat on this leg so i'm gonna probably bury my face in the camera as i normally do and uh just get some shots especially with this amazing lighting with the sun sinking low into the sky uh we're gonna get some nice colors on the red rocks out here so chelsea's gonna fly left seat take us into kingman probably right about at sunset we've got one hour 32 minutes until the sun goes down which will probably vary just a little bit in kingman so we'll probably be landing at kingman actually right before sunset which would be nice and winds winds are dead it's it is dead calm out here and there have been planes coming in planes going out it's been very busy but actually right now the ramp is kind of calm for a minute so that being said chelsea is
