This may or not have been posted before, if so, I missed it. I got this in an email and thought it was really neat what these guys did so I thought I'd share. Talk about a heck of an adventure!

Stewart,

That was great, have you ever read the book "Flight of Passage" by Rinker Buck about he and his brother flying a Cub across the Country when they were teenagers. It was a wonderrful read. OBTW they also rebuilt the Cub first...

Awesome. What an adventure. If the P ever overruns me I'm going to get a tandem tube & fabric taildragger and fly with the windows open. Sweet

Even though I would love to do that, I feel that I would have all kind of small issues along the way so I do not take the chance.
