Default There went my Sunday afternoon!
Favorite pics were over Yosimite Park. Brings back memories of climbing out of the Central Valley in the F102, going inverted over Half Dome for the view and "bogies" in the crosshairs over Mono Lake. Thanks for taking us along on an amazing trip.

Great trip write up, Having just flown from West to East and back I crossed much of the area, only we did it at 8500-17,500. Man we missed a bunch!

Default Thank you Bill
Bill,

What a well documented travelogue of your flight across America.

I've been an RVer since 1988, when I finished my first RV-4. I've built 5 RVs and my final one is a scratch built LSA (Thatcher CX5) that should be done in the next 90 days. I've made numerous flights across the country, but never the northern route you covered.

I live in the Pacific Northwest near Van's Aircraft.

Jake

Billsky! Thank you! I spent several nights reading your travels in installments. Marking the spots to visit and enjoying familiar sights. Good job documenting I like your narratives. I am very impressed you visited the place of your first solo 43 years ago. Great excursion into the past with friends great stories. Keep that intel flowing we airborne travelers are always looking for a right place to land, a pretty sight to see . Btw there are some pictures missing from your last day at the museum. See you at the flyin in Sept.
