In about 32 hours we will depart the earth for Crossville, Tennessee. Flight time should be about an hour and tem minutes. A friend of mine is not doing very well healthwise, so we will stop by there to say hello and go to lunch. We will top off with gas and head towards Clarksville, TN. Flight time will be approximately 50 minutes.
We will meet up with a couple of friends who have planes similar to mine and depart the next morning (Saturday) at 6:00AM.
The first leg will be to Rantoul, Illinois about 1:50 later for gas, leg stretch and bathroom break. Next stop is Juno, Wisconsin about 1:25 duration for more gas. We could make the trip from Clarksville to Oshkosh on one stop, but we are stopping about 40 miles away for fuel in case we need to be in a holding pattern for landing for an extended period of time (remember 10,000-12,000 airplanes will be showing up for the week).
The last leg will be from Juno to Oshkosh. Flight time is about 20 minutes. We should be there before noon.
This will be exciting! My Electronic Flight Instrument System has been repaired and should be delivered Wednesday. I'll install it and do a test flight. Other than a few minor details, the plane is ready. Calculations of weight with both Eric and I including fuel and luggage (minimal) will allow us 18 lbs shy of the gross weight of the airplane.
