Long Way to Long Beach

The first airplane to take off for AOPA Aviation Summit in Long Beach, Calif., is a Waco YMF-D like the one in the AOPA Foundation’s “A Night for Flight” auction, to conclude Nov. 13 on the RMS Queen Mary. Follow the rumbling, open-cockpit biplane as it makes its way across the continent from AOPA’s Maryland headquarters all the way to the Pacific. AOPA staffers Dave Hirschman and Chris Rose will chronicle their adventures in words and pictures here.
