We will communicate with each other on 122.75. If that freq. is crowded well go to 122.85. 2. Everyone will be given a pocket notebook to copy down all pilots cell phone numbers before takeoff. If you have a radio problem and also for some reason cant land at the chosen destination, land somewhere else and call us. (Cell phone use while in the air is illegal). 3. If we are on a different frequency in order to talk to ATC and want the others to get back to 122.75 so we can talk to each other, rock your wings vigerously. 4. Slower airplanes will depart each airport first, followed by medium speed planes followed by faster airplanes. 5. We wont try to fly formations, but if airplanes with similar speeds wish to fly together, they may. They should stay in sight of each other. 6. Faster airplanes will pass slower airplanes enroute, either above or on the right. 7. As soon as each plane gets to each stop it should refuel as soon as possible (IF NECESSARY) to make room for those following. 8. Everyone will wait at that stop until the slower planes take off again. 9. If one pilot needs to land for any reason we all will land at that airport so we all stay together. Any suggestions to this plan or to the route are welcome. Our schedule is (if weather is good): Friday, April 17 Depart Wausau, WI at 7 am, head for Aurora, IL.
