Hi Everyone!
Sorry I've been MIA; it's getting difficult to update all the forums, but I wanted to let you know where I am these days with my airplane hitchhiking project!

As of writing this, I just hitched a flight from Kitty Hawk to Norfolk, VA (state #27) and am trying to head north. I still have a handful of states in New England, the middle of America, Hawaii, and Alaska left. Those last two should be challenging but I'm going to try to make it to Oshkosh again this year so we'll see what happens from there. I really want to do some more back country flying! My favorite flights so far have been in Mississippi and New Mexico on taildraggers

For those of you who aren't familiar, I am a travel writer who is hitchhiking on general aviation planes in an effort to visit all 50 states. I started in July 2012 and am blogging about the adventure on JetHiking.com and a book is in the works.

Speaking of the website, I just re-launched JetHiking dot com so it should look much better on all those smartphones! I'm still working out a few kinks, but it's getting there. I also bought a Go Pro camera so I'll be video blogging very soon. I'm editing a hang gliding video right now.


I had a blast at Sun N Fun in April, and have been hanging out in South Florida for the month of May working as a bartender and as a deckhand on a sailboat so I have the funds for part two of the journey.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with the trip and for all of your kind e-mails and support!

The adventure continues....

Glad you enjoyed your New Mexico flight, wish it could have been longer. Best of luck with your future flights.
