Charlotte, NC to Washington DC
Thursday, April 2 This was one of our shortest days of flying, since we had pushed a little the night before. We hung around the hotel in the morning, so that Nell could send her script off to the producers, … Continue reading
The Plan
It is time for another adventure. Rudy and Dexter each have two weeks off for Spring Break, but they don’t line up (Rudy gets out first and goes back first). So we will bring along a bunch of work for … Continue reading
More Fame
Oh! I am so famous now, I’m on the Internet. Well, at least this is good for people that might want to see a video of the plane so they understand the size and shape of the star of most … Continue reading
West to East!
We made it! We are in New Hampshire in a lovely house overlooking a pleasant lake. I have just barely recovered from eighteen and a half hours of flying. We traveled nearly twenty-three hundred miles. We hope to continue to … Continue reading

There is now an updated version of this guide. I’ve only done it twice, so I imagine that I will make alterations to this guide after we have done it as a family. Both times I was with people with … Continue reading
FBO's I've Visited
I’ve been a good customer of many businesses across the country, a lot of them situated on airfields. I use a website called AirNav to look up airfields before I land there. It will tell me if the food is … Continue reading
What They Carried
Traveling across the continent in the plane for the first time was not something I took lightly. I read a lot, studied the charts a lot, and talked to a lot of other pilots. After much consultation, this is what … Continue reading
