Who says the fun has gone out of GA! You go Joyce!
You have to do fun stuff to have fun... the problem is some people quit doing fun stuff...
I think this is part of the reason that Air Racing is really taking off. (no pun intended)
This cross country stuff is really a great time, and isn't a "risky" behavior that invalidates your insurance, or puts you in harms way.
What it is, is FUN.
The race I'm hosting on July 17th is part of the Sport Air Racing league, and it's spun out of such races as the Women's Air Classic, and the Air Venture Cup just o name a few. The idea is that although the long cross country air races are awesome... many folks can't devote the time, energy or money to make it in one of these longer races ( or in the case of the Air Venture Cup AVC they don't fly an experimental aircraft.)
We want everyone to race. We allow everyone to race.
Joyce understands this, Team Ely (who came in Second in the Women's ARC, and also races with SARL) gets it... many men get it too.
Not to hijack Joyce's thread, but if any of you think this is an awesome feat by Joyce... which it is... come out and try your hand at it as well.
You've not had so much fun in an airplane since your solo. (some possible exceptions apply :wink2
