Smokey, I'd be willing to bet you averaged better than 100 kts! (Skyvector flight plan default speed)

This one shows most of the stuff I've done in the last couple years. Lots of repeats and round trips. Looks like I have a hub out of Dahlonega, and a mini hub out of Austin. Buried in there somewhere are about 75 airshows we've done since 2007.


Brings back a lot of fum memories. Hopefully I'll fill in some more out west soon.

Widget, you really need to come visit out west!

This is from memory, 8 years of flying RV's around - three primarily, but others as well. Probably some areas I've forgotten, but there would be too many logbooks to search!:



That Texas Nexus probably won't get any bigger now....

Here's my map after 7 years and 1085 hours... I'd like to add some more red lines one of these days; I'm really lacking up in the Pacific Northwest!

of cross country flying in my RV-7. I find it amazing how little populated the United States is considering we were told of over-population in the US more than 30 years ago. To view this wonderful country from aloft is priceless. Living in the central US, one can easily travel to either border or coast in less than a day.

The longest trip in one day was from Lees Summit MO (KLXT) -- Bismarck ND (KBIS) -- Minot ND (KMOT) -- Rock Springs WY (KRKS) -- Las Vegas NV (KVGT) = 1586 nm.

Interesting exercise - here's my map from Skyvector. Those green areas of the map scare me - no landmarks!
