Akron, Ohio area to Zephryhills, Florida via Greensboro in a C-172. Flew back a few days later via Athens, GA and Ohio Universty airport. Had a new engine and they were renting to instructors for $15/hr to burn the break-in period off. I think we got a total of about 15-16 hours.
That doesn't hold a candle the the Katana from SoCal to Maine!!! :eek: |
I flew from Kef Iceland to Rossey Roads once with a stop in Brunswick for gas because of a honkin headwind. 13.1 hours. I never thought I would be so happy to be in Rossey.
