They could also arrange lodging for you :-) God in Heaven, I thought that was gonna happen one time. Ask me about Dalhart, Texas And then when Mike and I got to SET, having just flown across the country and spent two nights together, his first words to (my) DH were, "she threatened me with a knife, you know."

A friend and I are planning on flying our Ercoupes from California to Oshkosh. First long trip for both of us. Off topic questions: 1. which engine? 2. what route? Reason for asking: thinking about flying a 65 hp Champ coast to coast. |

Reason for asking: thinking about flying a 65 hp Champ coast to coast. I have a C90 in an Alon Aircoupe and my friend has the O200 in an older Ercoupe. We're going to try I80 going out, and will come back that way, or maybe the southern route through Albuquerque. Read "Flight of Passage" by Rinker Buck and you will see your 65hp Champ is capable of such a flight. |
