Cost to ferry VFR RV-6 from CA to IN ?

[bird]

I used to ferry brand new agcats from Elmira NY. To Welsh Louisiana for a whopping 200$. It was a 3 day trip at best, one day up and two days down. Got snowed in, in Towanda PA. Once for two weeks, got room and board paid but I still made that whopping 200$! Do note however that this was in 1978
Sorry for the drift.

But unless you going out of the country, or flying an iffy airplane, a local CFI would probably do it. Or a retired RV pilot. I'm close to retiring and if I was I'd do it for expenses. It would be a paid vacation. Might include wife in those expenses, but she doesn't eat much.

I don't think I'm as concerned about 'Big Brother' as some are (read thru the posts about ADSB!), but do keep in mind that these forums are open to all, and some FAA types do read posts.
Unless you have commercial privileges, what you proposed for yourself could invite enforcement action, and you just told the world. (CFIs of course do hold commercial licenses, so that's a good idea).

Unless you personally know a pilot who is qualified, I strongly suggest you pick one of several professionals who have been recommended in this thread.

Ask for "first person" references.

Your airplane is worth too much to rely on a smile and a handshake.

Anyone familiar with what I should expect to pay for this service. I cannot take the time right now from my business

Stdlibelle,

Forgive me if this has been asked, I looked and didn't see it asked so...

Why not just fly it from Cali to IN yourself?
