FLYING AROUND THE UNITED STATES IN MY CHEROKEE 140

For once you have tasted flight, You will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; For there you have been, And there you long to return. -Leonardo da Vinci

LEAVING AUGUST 17TH ????? I DON'T THINK SO

I was planning to leaving on my flying adventure on the 17th of August. Bodie and I were on our way to a fly-in this past Saturday in Independence Kansas.

When Bodie started 46R we heard a squealing noise ......fan belt was making noise. We decided to have the alternator rebuilt while we have the prop off.

Chad Brown is helping us with the work.....Chad wanted his name on my blog, he will be famous now...

WELCOME TO MY FLYING BLOG

I soloed on August 7, 1976. Not long after that I began talking about flying around the border of the lower states. I been dreaming about it for 32 years.

If all goes as planned I am going to get up one day very soon and say "THIS IS THE DAY".

I am not going to tell anyone, just go to the airport, get in 6446R and fly off into the wild blue yonder.

4 or 5 weeks later ......10,000 miles later.......many dollars later....wind up where I started....DREAM FULFILLED.

I will post daily on my blog...I hope you will visit often and enjoy my trip with me....
