Friday 27-Jan-2023 Highway 89 - Flight 01

[Paughco]

Fellow Misfits. Our flight will take us over Highway 89, which goes across the USA, from border to border, South to North. We will fly over seven National Parks, fourteen National Monuments and three Heritage Areas all on one road—US Route 89. From Mexico to Canada through Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, we will behold the West’s most spectacular scenery. Named the #1 Drivers’ Drive in the World by National Geographic, we will fly over 150 towns, cities and reservations and maybe pick up on a bit of the history and culture of Native Americans, Spanish explorers, mountain men, Mormon pioneers, prospectors and cowboys. Recreational opportunities abound to suit (almost) every taste. At some of our stops you'll be able to climb a mountain, raft a river or relax in a luxurious spa.

We're doing this one from South to North because the weather in Montana really sucks right now, and hopefully the weather to the North will improve as we progress. Our first flight is from Nogales Intl (KOLS, the one in Arizona, USA, not the one just across the border in Mexico), and we'll fly along Hwy 89 and 89A, ending our first flight in Sedona, AZ (KSEZ).

We'll fly fast GA, Bonanzas, Comanches, or equivalent. The flight is 300 nm and will take about 2 hour and 3 minutes.
