friends of RAS: the Cherokee Kid had a wonderful weekend of killer

Saturday ... That had to have been somewhere near 11
miles!


Sunday.... Grand total
of 12 miles!


That beats me by 23 miles. Keep up the good work.

an 8 mile flight last year in his Foka 4.

I lied folks. Saturdays flight was longer than Sundays. I put the
lat/longs in from google earth and Saturdays flight to Boone came out
to 10.7 nautical miles. Sundays flight to my pasture was 10.6
nautical miles. at least i broke 20 for the weekend.
