140 Cross Country Adventure-Seeking Advice

Post by emoryriver »

Long story short...I'm a low time PPL who has invested in a 140 and spent the past two years getting it overhauled. Re-covered wings, O-200, dual AV-30s with TailbeaconX, and more. Looking for a CFI who is interested in a cross country adventure with me from TN to WY. I'll pay your time and bring a tent. Advice appreciated.

Sounds like you have the makings of an adventure. My opinion on the matter would be to leave the CFI at home. If you are not current then do a short cross country and brush up on whatever needs work with a CFI before your grand adventure. Why? Well, your CFI will have all the answers, no need to wonder into a flight school and ask about parking or camping or winds through a nasty pass. That's a missed opportunity to experience the awesome aviation community. Just keep your CFI on speed dial.

Just an opinion.
