Narrative:
On oct/mon/02 at XA50Z, I was cleared for takeoff from tus tower on runway 11R. Military F16's were using runway 11L. I took off and turned right downwind per instructions and lost all electrical power. I proceeded west 290 degrees, which was my last direction from the tower before lost communication. My entire electrical buss went out including radar transponder, electric flaps, navcom, and ADF. After leaving class C airspace, I proceeded directly to ryan field (ryn) about 10 NM to the west. I attempted to gain the attention of the tower as I entered a left downwind for runway 24L south of the field. I waited for traffic on the taxiway to clear and landed on runway 24L. I proceeded to FBO after exiting the runway at the first intersection. I then communicated with tus and ryn towers by telephone and explained my emergency and subsequent actions.
