I loved this book, even though I’m not an aviator. Such an adventure, and so well-written. Hilarious in parts, too.

I’ll be taking a 172 with a buddy from South Florida to Central California in January!

This book is fantastic!

I made a similar trip from Vermont to Florida in 1998. I was inspired by “Flight of Passage” and also by “Coast to Coast in a Cub” by Ed Byars.

Everyone should do this, at least once. There is no other way to gain a proper perspective on aviation before the electronics revolution.

I’d love to fly a light single cross-country, but not NORDO! Not now, not even in 1964.
