Default Narrowing it down... Comanche?

After the novelty wears off, long trips suck in a slow airplane.
I flew my arrow from vegas to louisville ky, took about 9-10 hours and 2
fuel stops
in a car it would have taken 3 days to do the trip. I had a blast, I think


I love flying long x-country in GA planes. We've criss-crossed the country
in a 150 hp Warrior (not real fun in high density altitudes), our 235 hp
Pathfinder, and -- just last week -- in the right seat of a 500 hp Aztec
(250 hp x 2 engines).

None of these planes is particularly fast, but they're still light years
ahead of driving -- and the sights we've seen! It's a wondrous -- albeit
unreliable -- way to travel, and we simply love the feeling of being 1000
miles from home at a small GA airport. Flying commercial just plain sucks.

I prefer flying over the midwest and southern states then the desert SW.
lots more to see there then here.


The Midwest is beautiful, but I find flying over mountain and canyon country
to be fantastic. Stark, and kinda scary -- but gorgeous and alluring.
