I am planning on flying my RV-4 with my Dad from Punta Gorda, FL to the 8th Annual 2014 Page, AZ Fly-In and then on to see some of the sites west of there.
The Fly-in ends on 10-19 an I would like to go to Mariposa, via Furnace Creek, Lee Vining following Kings Canyon through to Mariposa-Yosemite. I do not have O2, so does anyone see an issue with that rout through the mountains following the valley? Obviously I will be PIC and responsible for any decisions so please do not be afraid to comment.
My plan is to maybe go into the Nat. Park and camp one night and then go over to San Francisco and ride the trolly to the sites there for the day and spend the night.
After that Id like to fly the coast but Im not sure if I should go North and see the Red Woods, Mount Shasta, etc. or head South down the coast and cut back over to maybe the Joshua Tree Nat. Park on my way back around the south side of the Sierra's to head back to FL.
This is my flight Plan, so far...
10-10 TO 10-14
PGD, ZPH, X35, 2J9, 2R0, BQP, DUA, HBR, DUX, AXX, PGA
If I can make it in 1-2 days I will probably go to Vegas to wait for the fly-in start on the 15th to kill time? Maybe someone wants to hang out or go flying in the area? I have an Aunt in Cedar City I could go see as a last resort, lol.
10-19 or 20 to 10-21
After the Fly-in at Page, Az, my proposed route is:
PGA, VGT, LO6, BIH, O24, MPI
10-21 to 10-22
Flight to SFO
MPI, LVK, HAF
I would LOVE to have someone to take me on a flying tour of San Fransisco's sights and would be happy to buy lunch in exchange.
After San Fran, I know I want to see the coast line a few other places before b-lining home so again, if you have an idea of a must see or are in the area along my route and want to grab some local cuisine, ill treat if you drive us there!
Can't Hardly Wait; Im probably going to freeze my tail wheel but Im still can' wait to get started!
