First X-Country Trip in N727WB

November 11th, 2005

Less than 24 hours after I flew off the test hours on my RV-7, Shannon and I climbed in it and flew to Littlefield to see my family. We sat in the terminal at West Houston Airport for a couple of hours waiting for the ceiling to lift. As it turned out we left a little early and we wound up running into some some low clouds and had to land at Hearne and wait about another hour.

We finally got to Littlefield and with all the delays it still only took a little over 6 hours to get there. That’s still 3 hours better than driving and it’s a whole lot more fun. We had great weather on the way home and it only took about 2-1/2 hours to get home. That is what it’s all about.
