I did the landing edit differently too.

I loved the Ted Nugent song.
I noticed when you left the mountains there were plenty of bailout ball parks on the way to the beach. Do people ever have to land there? or do they always make it to the beach?

I really appreciate your appreciation of the Nuge. I have been waiting for a chance to put that tune to good use.

The beach is strictly H-4, P-3. Otherwise it's Parma, etc. Honestly, most of the bailouts suck, which is why I pulled the apex of my drogue out early. XC in SB is high risk. Pilots don't always make the beach but that is a real no-no. SB needs to be respected in order to preserve access.
