Thanks for the offer, Bryan! Yeah, I don't relish the idea of 2,000+ miles down I-80. I do fancy the adventure of flying it home, though. I've done that with a Flight Design CTSW, a Corben Baby Ace (almost made it home!), and a SkyRanger Classic. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures, despite weather and maintenance challenges along the way. In many ways, I enjoyed it more than my 3,000 hours in the T-38 and A-10.
My only hesitation is the AeroVee with only 60 hours, my lack of AeroVee knowledge and maintenance skill, and just how much engine support, if needed, would be available along the route.
