We've flown coast to coast, Canada to Mexico, for the last 12 years,
and we have seen a lot of beautiful sights. There are way more than
five flights to make before you die -- but these are my Top 5. Can
you add yours?

1. Grand Canyon.

DONE. Yea.. it was a commercial sightseeing tour, but yea...pretty grand.


2. Mackinac Island/Mackinac Bridge.

Not seen yet.


3. Barrier Islands/Ocracoke/Hatteras Just a few weeks ago we made
this flight, from Kill Devil Hills, NC to Beaufort, NC,

FYI.. Beaufort is in SC.. I have family in Charleston and have made the
hop from Charleston to Savannah. I love that whole part of the country.

4. Great Salt Lake. This one may surprise you, but we flew over it
(and the surrounding salt flats)

I got my tailwheel endorsement out there in a C-180 with a good friend
who does the airline thing there in SLC. Did fullstop landings on a
gravel strip on Promentory Point, flew down LOW over the lake, as well
as over some private strips on the islands in the middle of the lake.
And for good measure, the Wasatch Mountains are beautiful in contrast,
with lush alpine forest on the windward side of the range. Beautiful.
Still snowcapped in late October from the previous year.


5. Oshkosh! DUH. And I met you for the first (and only, so far) time there, in 2002.

Great list Jay, and I am fortunate to have been to 4 of 5 of your must
see places.
