So I was bored trying to figure out when my parents flight out of KCVG would depart for KTYS (and connect to KATL from there)... they had to go via Knoxville since all the direct flights to KATL were packed with holiday travelers. They are flying standby on a major airline. Just looking at Flight Aware I see no RV'ers are up today, at least non that have filed IFR. Typed in all the different RV types and didnt see anyone up!! Guess you are all enjoying the holidays with family and friends or are flying VFR in good weather. The southeast has been IFR all morning and afternoon.
And this brings about another point. If they had just taken me up on the offer to fly at least one of them down in the RV, their journey would have been over hours ago. It's 325 nm from CVG-ATL, just about two hours in the RV. They left my sister's house at 9am this morning and as of 1240pm still havent takeon off from CVG due late arriving equipment. HOPEFULLY they can make a 15 min connection in TYS and then on to ATL, arriving at 310pm. So that's over 6 hours on the majors if all goes well and they make their connection in TYS. And that doesn't include getting bags and driving to our house.
At any rate, I hope everyone is enjoying a great Christmas.
