Re: Paid vacations ...

I chose to do a transcontinental delivery flight in a Bonanza instead!

YIKES! I heard a guy ditching about 200 miles from Shannon a few months back, he was in some single engine plane doing a crossing... Scary Stuff....

Fly Safe!

Well, this one was only across the country ... though I wouldn't mind doing one across the pond if the opportunity came along. I've got some friends who've done crossings in King Airs ... at least the pucker factor's a lot lower there!

Tailwinds, y'all ...

ah, ok.. I re-read your post, I thought you said Trans-Oceanic... My bad... Trans-Continental is ok! Don't do the oceanic in a single!...

If you drop into Sonderstrom, which is popular on the ferry routes, take a look at all the extra fuel tanks they pack into the light twins. It looks to me like if you lose an engine in the first 3-4 hours of flight it doesn't matter if you're in a twin or a single - you're still going to get to test your anti-exposure suit.
