JetHikingGypsy Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Hi- Thanks to everyone on Mooney Space who have helped out with my airplane hitchhiking project! Since July 2012, I've been on 78 planes to 42 states.....and I'm still going! I've had to stop and find work where I landed a couple of times (when I ran out of $$), but otherwise I've been doing this nonstop. I'm sooo close to finishing this...writing my book....and getting my license but I need some help and suggestions for the two most difficult (Alaska and Hawaii). I'm in Cheyenne, WY and am trying to go to Utah and Alaska next...A few people have suggested hanging out in airports in Seattle. Are there any other places you think I should try? Does anyone know any organizations based in Alaska, or that fly frequently to Alaska that I should reach out to? Same goes for Hawaii, but I'll work on that later. Thanks for your tips!

fantom Posted September 27, 2014 Report Posted September 27, 2014 Where is 201er? -a- More than likely scrubbing parrot droppings off his windscreen, seats, carpets, shirts and smelly pants. Quote
Marauder Posted September 27, 2014 Report Posted September 27, 2014 More than likely scrubbing parrot droppings off his windscreen, seats, carpets, shirts and smelly pants. I think Mikey has something up his sleeve. Don't be surprised to see a FlightAware to Scotland. 1 Quote
