Default Need time-building partner/plane July-Aug

Hi, all. I'll be doing about a week of solid flying from around 30 July to 5 Aug, based out of the DC/Virginia area. I'm looking for an aircraft and a partner. Can you supply either? I can likely get a C150/152 for $90/wet, if nothing else is available.

I want to pack in the hours, but also have some fun with it, not just fly in circles. Ideally, we'd fly 8-12 hours a day, including a few hours of night time. I'm thinking stuff like:

- Land at every airport in Virginia, snagging a nice VA Aviation Ambassador leather pilot jacket. (Other states have the same deal, so we could do more if you want.)

- Land in all of the lower 48 States (maybe AK, too, since I've always wanted to see it).

- Find the shortest runways, most unusual approaches, etc, to try.

- Visit friends/family for airplane rides.

- Etc, etc, etc.

Let me know if you're interested.

There is no way you could do all of that in a week in a C152/C172.

Probably not. I'm just tossing out ideas to give a general feel of what I'm interested in.

Any takers?

Likely KHEF or KJYO, but I'm flexible. Depends on where the plane is based and where you want to go. Don't need to stay in that area, but will likely want to be back there by the end of the week.
