Hi, Bill. Here are the two screenshots. If you click either of the small images, you’ll get the 1280x1024 original.
Left image: the Grob, on approach to Lake Tahoe, rw 18. I generally keep the plane in about the same orientation all the way in from here. You’ll notice that the airspeed is hovering close to the yellow triangle mark; that seems to work fairly well, though I do deviate from it sometimes.
Right image: it’s time to put out the spoilers.

Phone: +1 301 PAPYRUS (That’s 7279787, if your
phone doesn’t have letters on it.)
