I'm not quite sure if today's goal is Gibraltar the rock, or Gibraltar the airport. Let's just call it a two-fer.
I found 3 Military Charter passengers going to Rota navy base, which is 35 miles from Gibraltar, so that's our first stop. I'll fly this leg IFR, just to show the Navy boys that the Globetrotter is not a toy!
End: LERT, 0922; $5975.28 and 30gal

The Navy guys were polite, but I think they looked down on my little Cessna and her leisurely climb rate. But after the smoothest landing I've ever had (it was landing number 501 for me), I think I saw a little respect! I'm now off for Gibraltar empty and VFR. I'll do a loop or two around "the Rock", and then land at the tricky Gibraltar airport.

| Gibraltar airstrip -- not too tricky in something as small as a Cessna Skyhawk. |
