Thinking about a trip to Gulfport MS from Michigan in the spring to see my Son before he is deployed to who knows where next June. This is something I have always wanted to do is fly my home built plane cross country, something made out of wood and fabric, cruise about 75 to 80 with a 2.5 hour range. I would not be alone, the family would be driving the same route, most likely ahead of me
The longest flight I have take in a day is about a 3 hour trip to Dayton with one stop for rest and fuel.
I think of it as just a bunch of small legs, one airport to another. Keep in mind I have about 600hrs in this plane, Instrument rating but the plane is not! duh....but do have 720 nav-com, gps and c-xpondr Weather is always a concern but without being on a rushed schedule this can be worked around without risk......I think it would be a blast!!!
