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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
