Time to close out the Arizona adventure w/ a recap from one persons perspective. Factoids & Observations....This is a BIG country best seen from 8000'...heading West we encounter clouds,clouds, clouds until West Texas where we encounter NO clouds all the way to Arizona....bumps were minimal at altitude except for rolling waves over NMexico in the pm. Visibility is 100 miles +!...trip factoids...3252 NMiles in 5 travel days....24.2 hours in the air...23.6 in formation...( its a hoot to enjoy scenery while lead is keeping you on course. Flying single is boring in comparison.) 134 knot ave speed, more like 150 once you take out taxi time and ldg approaches...80 degree lo temp at touchdown in Santa Fe, NM/102 degree hi temp at touchdown at Carlsbad, NM...encountered vapor lock taxiing in as fuel flow at idle caused fuel to cook and engine to quit...gentle reminder to keep power up when taxiing on HOT days. max. altitude 9500'...oil burn- 1.5
quarts! amazing. no weather probs.occasional VFR on top but no lo ceilings like last yr. (James can concur). Ate too much Mexican food, but gained no weight....Final thoughts...awesome trip w/ great companionship. Looking forward to Stormy's gathering later this month and next planned trip. Thx. to Cappy for planning. Think we all become better pilots when we stretch our boundaries and add new experiences. Will send addl pix to James and Larry's sites soon. Those of you thinking about such adventures should MAKE IT HAPPEN. cheers, Reno

You may want to clarify the concept of "formation," Reno. The only scenery I was ever able to take in while in formation was Lead's aileron hinge and spinner - got really boring after awhile, but I didn't dare look away more than a second. I kinda prefer letting "George" keep heading and altitude while I look at scenery, far from other aircraft, like we did last year.
Looking forward to hosting the gang in 3 weeks.
Stormy

Let’s see…
With a 140 knots AVERAGE cruise, I would have been in trail, way in trail. Like you would have cleared the fuel pumps and had dinner ordered by the time I landed.
Good to hear everyone made it home safely. Ron, good luck resolving your issues.
