Re: Long flight... what do you think about?

I'll let you know next week =D>
I think it's about 1873 miles to 82wn from panu pafa,cyxy,cyxs, (12h30min, 178 Gallons gas) unless the weather is good down the coast, then only 1904 going by way of pakt. (today would have been 11H02M current wind and 151 gallons gas) #-o, just no stop in Canada! =D>
Bad part of that won't be able to BS with THE Tundra Guy J-M :cry:

Lets see 27 gallons @ $9.00 = $243 and just 600 miles of water?? [-o<

I think it's easier once I get going?? :shock:

Sorry Brent! I was going to keep it a little more serious, but you know me. Just had to have some fun on this one.

But it sounds like I'm pretty much on par with what everybody else is thinking.

Aviate, navigate, communicate. Repeat until tied down.

Thats exactly what I used to do Cory...before bushwheels

Before bushwheels: I could land there....I could probably be OK there but would probably bend the plane....that spot would hurt....etc., etc.
After bushwheels: Ooh! I could totally land there! That's is a sweet hillside, gotta land there sometime. Ooh Ooh...thats spots even better!
