Last night your friend Pierre, who works for Airbus in France, called you in San Francisco to confirm that the Airbus A380 promotional tour will indeed make a stop at San Francisco airport (KSFO). Your friend Mike loves the A380 and just happens to be celebrating his 30th birthday. So, you quickly reserve a Cessna 172 from your local flying club and tell Mike that you would like to take him flying over San Francisco.

Mike lives in Half Moon Bay, a quick 10 minute flight from SFO. You will start your mission on runway 28R at SFO and fly to Half Moon Bay to pick up Mike. Then, you and Mike will do a sightseeing tour of San Francisco for his birthday. If you pick up Mike, see some San Francisco sights and manage to see the A380 on final at SFO, then you (and Mike) will get a great reward. Have fun ...
