About this blog

I am going to keep this journal / blog as I fly my Mooney AKA my baby across the United States. I am going to include a daily summary and some pictures of my experiences, hardships / challenges, and exciting moment. Not only is this a trip of a lifetime, this is a way that I am planning on building lots of hours!

Day Three - 03/11

Sunday the 11th was a lazy non-flying day. My good friend, that is going to be on the trip with me, and I decided to rest and catch up on some R&R before we start the long journey!

Day Four - 03/12

Day four was a huge success! We were a little late getting around and getting off the ground, but we were wheels up around noon. We were very curious and worried about some clouds we ended up flying right over and no issues with icing or getting stuck anywhere. We made our first fuel stop in KPBF, Pine Bluff Regional Airport Grider Field, for some incredibly cheap fuel and fun entertainment. After a quick trip into town for some diner food, we went back and enjoyed the culture that is incredibly
