1500 mile round trip to Austin, Texas
by gammaxy » Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:36 pm
My son and I flew our Aerovee-powered Sonex on a round-trip flight from Huntsville, Alabama to Austin, Texas.
I logged 12.6 hours (including time spent taxiing) for an average speed of 119 mph (typical cruise TAS was 137 mph).

I'm jealous. We just got 34" of snow today in Boston! Gotta' at least go clean off the wings tomorrow.

No snow on my wings in Illinois. Besides being in a heated hangar, all the wing parts are still in boxes. Looks like a great trip!

I'll be even more jealous when one of you northern Sonex folks posts pictures from Alton Bay B18.

What a fantastic first long cross country in your expertly crafted Sonex! You have certainly created fond memories which will last a lifetime for you and your son! Great photos! I can not wait to finish up Phase One so I can start my cross country adventures!
