48 states in 48 hours single engine airplane
A local airplane I used to do the annual inspections on is going for an official record record attempt today. It actually departed from Michigan last night and is currently headed for Oregon from Washington. It took lots of planning to arrange for having someone at each airport available all night last night and tonight to sign off on their documentation when they land in each state for the record to count with Guinness.
Guy who owns the plane now that is attempting this is local and an ex Navy pilot and now a Delta pilot. Kind of neat that a plane I did quite a bit of work on over the years is now likely gonna be in the record books. It is a 1980 6 passenger Piper Saratoga. Been following his progress this morning on https://www.flightradar24.com/HRF48/3096ce15

Here it is about 10 years ago in my shop for an annual inspection.
