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
Good post and pictures! I actually looked up the story of Barney Riggs, it's interesting to say the least. http://books.google.com/books?id=Z8VEeZamhvAC&pg=PA146&lpg=PA146&dq=john+denson++barney+riggs&source=web&ots=y4BgTlzqt2&sig=Y2IxUP-6GihCmU_ApTKf1Ve5jVE&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result
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....
