That's why I am suggesting a couple of hours training.


Thanks.

Looking forward to reading about your flight


I'll be bringing along a digital camera and will post pictures with the
story up on my website when I return.

I'm a flatlander having only done mountain flying in a 125 hp Tripacer,
and then in 172s, but my thing was to stay light, preferably do it only
in the AM (especially with the family along), listen to the locals,
know how to lean, and keep your schedule and flight planning very
flexible.

My biggest scare was being twice afraid the bottom would fall out of my
airplane going thru Glacier and the Canadian rockies - and it wasn't
choppy......
