I was up in Boise Idaho yesterday taking care of a little business, and flew back this morning to my home base in west Texas 73XS.
1,009 nautical miles - the return trip at 17,000' took me 5.9 hours nonstop burning only 39 gallons of fuel. You can't beat that with a stick.
During the trip home my tach rolled over 1000 hours (hobbs is a bit shy - I bought the engine with 105 hours on it). Saw a lot of pretty country and the MOA's were cold today so after Moab UT on the way back I was given direct destination - more than 600 miles away.
