    I usually do about one west coast - east coast trip every two years or so. Most travel is on the west coast. I finished this plane in 1987 with my partners and our usual airport committee builders. Also had a VariEZE that's now in the San Diego Aerospace Museum at Gillespie Field. O235 then with Loran only. Test flew it to Ireland and back that same year. Flew so well, I kept it. Now it has an O320 D1A and full EFIS/AP/ADS-B panel that I use for testing variious EFIS systems with Trio autopilots. This trip was to attend my 65th HS reunion in Easton and parked it at Queen City. What a great bunch of people there at the FBO. Trip back was "interesting." Tstorms over New Mexico and Arizona. One stop in Little Rock overnight. Highlight was meeting with Rick in Missouri en route. He should have his Cozy flying by now. Sid
