OSH for the uninitiated...

Ah, I get the picture now. Yes, efficient is good, especially on an
approx. 1500 nm cross country. Sure, we could hop scotch and plan on
Alliance or wherever makes sense as a final destination for day 1.

I'm going to call the folks at Alliance this week to check on cargas and
tell them we plan RON on Friday and to please hold onto the airport vehicle
for us. I'd sort of like to get there early enough to take a trip out to
Autohenge about ten miles west of Alliance.

How many of your chairs are going to have butts in them?
Front two seats with butts, the rear two with misc. flying and camping
gear. With full tanks, I figure we'll be about 100 pounds under max.
gross. Better than two years ago in the 172SP, not as good as last year
in the 182.

Naah...let's keep it on the ng. Maybe we can rustle up another convoy-er or
two. Will you have your instrument ticket by that time?
I wish. I seriously looked at pushing things harder in order to finish
by OSH this year. It was possible but would have meant really pushing
harder than I'd care to do right now, to the point where it wouldn't
have been a lot of fun and way too many other priorities would take a
back seat. So, it's another VFR trip this year. I'll probably do a
couple of hours under the hood along the way since my brother is a
qualified safety pilot.

Jav H. - here's your chance to join the convoy :-)
