Itinerary

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting people at the various stopping places. Our times of arrival and even overnight stops changed with little notice due to lodging, weather, fuel availability, and maintenance.

 

Aircraft owners and pilots of land or seaplanes were welcome to join the journey for any distance or number of stops. A focus on safety was the main consideration in deciding timetables etc.  Each crew decided their route and stops. Sometimes, two or more crews planned to overnight at the same stop and shared lodging & meals. One of our goals was to enhance the reputation of light aircraft flight.
