May 19 we launch on our last C2C Adventure starting and ending in St Augustine FL on June 2. We have 8 GA A/C and 16 pilots. About half the pilots are Italy based friends of our organizer Giorgio.

I also think bush flying would be cool although I've heard that involves having some ability to fix things when they break which I am inherently ... more
