Wow, I wish my wife would let me "experiment" with my Warrior like that! In all honesty, she is really not that bad about flying (anymore). With two small kids, it's tough to go away for days at a time. My wife was very supportive of that trip, despite our three young boys at home (5,7, and three months old at the time). The entire idea was sold on the fact that I was ultimately bringing the boys' grandfather back to our house for a two week visit, as well as the fact that I would only be away for three nights, which is a typical work week for me. Your Bonanza's speed was probably key to the one-day timeframe. No doubt, the 185 kts true airspeed at altitude (14k and 16k on the way out) and relatively low headwinds were instrumental in allowing me to make the trip west in one day. I can't imagine doing that in a Warrior. The designated examiner who tested me for my private pilot certificate and instrument rating told me stories of crossing the country a few times in his C152... IFR. So, it definitely can be done. ![]() When your children get older, take a month off and explore the country. That is my next plan. Still, it's a trip you will probably remember for the rest of your life. That's an "experiment" worth every penny. Given the rise in fuel prices in August, my timing was good. Be sure to post the story and pics when you get it done.
