So what do you and your brother do now? Still both flying?
Nice write up! A fun read.
Gotta ask - where was Grand Prix Airport in Troy?
It is now called Oakland Troy (VLL) - in between it was Troy Exec. I forget what the name was before Grand Prix.
At the time it had a second runway - but it was in pretty bad shape. The "Grand Prix" name came with the go-cart track on the north edge of the airport.
great!
reminds me of a trip x-canada I did at 26 or so
I can't seem to be able to find the write-up and/or pictures...
That's just awesome... you could re-live a trip like that 1000 times and not get tired of it.
I've been hankering for a 2-seat Cessna for a while now, and I'd love to take one on a trip like that!
Very neat story! I bought that plane this week. Beautiful little bird. Cheers, Ken
Dude! You bought N76848 from the guys in Mississippi? I didn't know it was for sale. Or another 120?
