I made the Pilgramage to Glo Custom with my RV-8 yesterday. 964 nm direct KCHO (Charlottesville, VA) to 52F, with a fuel stop at M01 in Memphis which was right smack dab in line with my route of flight to 52F. Burned 52 gallons for the trip, and was really lucky with the headwind which was generally less than 10 kts at my cruising altitude of 8,500. True air speeds averaged around 175 kts at 8 - 8.5 gph. The RV-8 is one fast and efficient machine!
Brought my oxygen bottle with me...I'll pick it up in January and hope I find a CAVU day with a strong tailwind at altitude for the trip home![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This airplane first flew in 2003, so it's high time for a paint job...
