All right Ken,
That is the route that I had up on the GPS (to the grand Canyon)
but I had to take off to the East so I just kept going that way. I picked
out a corridor just South of NY control zone and went to the NJ beach. I
flew South for about 50 miles and turned around and retraced the route
back home. 1.5 hours,7 gal fuel, 155 average ground speed. I did pass by
Lakehurst NJ. Those hangers there really are big. They make quite a
landmark. Sorry I didn't come your way, It would have been fun
