I hope you're bringing back a Turbo J-3. We'd all probably like to hear some of your stories when you get back - that would probably be sometime in late April or early May right?

longest trip in light airplane

I'm thinking about EVB-BLM (New Smyrna Beach, FL to Belmar, NJ) and back this weekend.

Probably be close to 9 hours each way.

Would put me near the 200 hour mark.

C172 from Rochester, NY to Naples, FL. I think it was around 14 hours thanks to some weather I had to go around.

Well everyone, I am leaving for OKC tomorrow morning bright and early to get everything planned out and paperwork done for the Brazil trip (leaving OKC on the 19th). And yes it is a turbo, I'll probably be back sitting in this chair in about 3 1/2 weeks. I am expecting to get back around Jan. 5-9th. Im bringing my laptop so hopefully im not too far out of touch, staying at all hiltons along the way so I should be able to hook up to the web....peace all!
