JG3 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 The truck colour change still confuses me ! Eric I tell that on the page 'Finding a Vehicle'. The first one didn't have enough power for all those high mountain passes, so changed to the truck with massive power, 7.3 litres turbo....

turboplanner Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Brilliant story, JG. I've covered some of that area by car, and flew a Cherokee from Las Vegas out over Grand Canyon, but this combination is unbeatable to see things others have never seen. An inspiring story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runway Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for sharing this John, great stuff. I went to quite a few of these areas last year on a two month motorbike trip around western US/Canada, and loved it. It's good to see it from a flying perspective. I've come across some of your other stories of flying within Australia, and love them too. Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovidiu Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hi John A fantastic trip indeed. So much different than the flat outback in Australia. What a great time. In the last couple of years I flew a 172/182 in most of the places you listed, but I was under the pressure of time and spent little time on the ground. What a great experience. Congratulations Ovidiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
