While we all sleep, he’s managed to get halfway!
We blew it.....as many as possible should have made arrangements to show up at his destination to celebrate with signs, champagne, balloons, etc....at least the California contingent. OK, so this RtW trip took 3+ years, so what? Still a reason to celebrate!
curses, foiled again.

My wife and kids will be in San Jose on Wednesday if he'd like to fly up and be celebrated. I am otherwise stuck in Illinois.

Actually I think he has to get to Pittsburgh first before he can claim around the world. So we can meet him there.

KSMX is now VFR-A nice perk for a tired pilot.
He is now picking up speed without descending- he must be feeling his oats, and smelling California air.

Does Santa Barbara have approach control? Get that.
Edit: forget that- too far away.
What about Vandenberg, this is like a space flight.

And boy are his arms tired. And probably his head, eyes, hands, back, etc.
Do I count that right at 18 hours?

No cheeseburgers in flight. The catering in Planey is shocking.
