Well here's another long flight for me and my 182...
A buddy, PPL and IR, works with a group that rehabilitates injured birds of prey and then relocates the ones who can't fly again to various places. He e-mailed me and asked if I would be willing to fly an Osprey from Detroit to Ft. Lauderdale with him in my plane and I said sure. Figure last weekend in October.
The only part of the route that is pretty much set is the end - I want to go from KSSI to KFXE via V3 just offshore. Otherwise, keep the legs limited to 3 hours and I'm pretty much open to suggestions of where is good to stop on the way.
Since my buddy is IR we can and will file IFR (/A). I will go foggled to build up the simulated IR time since I'll have a safety pilot.
Tips on where to go/avoid would be appreciated.
