I dive below the cliff and keep the speed up, then I pitch up sharply and pop up above the cliff, I can always land on the highway if the engine quit on me. I trade the speed for altitude and altitude for the speed, did it back and forth until I was fully satisfied. I had a lot of fun following the shore line to Homer.
Pioneer Inn, Rich and Amy tel: 907-235-5670, 800-782-9655, nice place to stay over night, recommanded by Steve Mckenley who I met at Soldotna Airport, who attended the aeronotical school in Inglewood, CA
