I was riding on the train they call the Surfliner this morning from Guadelupe to Oceanside. It was the first leg of what I suspect will be a magnificent odessy. A good friend just purchased a Cavalon in Chatham, MA. We are going to go pick her up in Chatham and fly her back to Oceanside. The idea was born over six years ago and we have been planning and scheeming for a little over a month. We are finally pulling the trigger. It is about 2,600 nautical miles the way we plan to fly. We fully expect this to be modified for the weather. We just had dinner and were unable to contain our excitement. Years ago I used him as a test student to learn to teach people to fly gyroplanes. I never did get around to teaching him to takeoff and land. We are going to do that at Chatham Municipal Airport before we start back. I hope to write about the adventure when we get back.
