Yea, she will need some oil changes, and lots of maintenance checks.

We are in the middle of our annual inspection for our 182T. Every single panel gets opened up, the interior removed, and a through mechanical test of the engine, radios and lighting. From the tip of the nose cone to the tip of the tail it is all checked and repaired or replaced as needed. Typical is 80 hours and several parts if all is well.

We have to replace a few of the bulbs for the aux lighting of the instruments. For a car it would be a bag of a dozen for 20 bucks. For the Cessna, over a hundred each for the three we need to replace. And we can't fly aerial photos at night and we don't fly at night very often. It has to be done.

So yea, if she is smart she will have a ground crew meet her at some stops to do some maintenance. I would not want some local mechanic that has never seen her aircraft touching it.

I wonder how much it will cost for her trip? Lots. Cool journey.
