En-Route
I have an opportunity to get some free hours, if I choose to accept it. There is a guy here in OK who is buying an Ercoupe located in SC. His wife is having health problems, and can't be left alone overnight. He has offered to fly someone out to SC commercially, and fly the 'Coupe back to OK. I'd absolutely love some free hours, but I can't imagine a worse airplane to do a 1000 mile cross-country in, and I'd have to do it alone, since I'm a fat guy. Any of y'all ever flown a trip like that in an Ercoupe or something that slow and small? I can't believe I'd even think twice about free flying, but that seems like a long lonesome haul.
I'm thinking it'll be 10+ hours flight time. 4 or so fuel stops.
