Sounds good!

I plan to leave Atlanta mid-week before OSH heading to the northeast, touching down in every state. Then, point west to make OSH in time for the open house. I'll be going through Ohio... 8-)

Kipp,
You should put one of those Good Sam club stickers on your plane with all 50 states and fill them in on the ones you've visited.

Hey Kip, NH was my home base before i moved out here to California. Concord is alright.. but nothing special. Are you comfortable landing on a 2100ft grass strip? If so, Hampton Airfield (7B3) will be way more fun. I know there is a Sonex, and a half complete Waiex based there as well.

I'm a bit of a lurker on the forums, but I feel a need to point out you missed a state: MD (which also happens to be my home state).

Good catch~! I noticed that yesterday and added Frederick, MD to my stops. Thanks!

To get this thread back on topic...Mike, any more test flights completed...?
