From across the state to across the region
When you were just an average Earth-bound being, your personal or family weekend trips probably were all within about 300 miles by car.
As a pilot, you have the opportunity to re-create your weekend soul and redefine what qualifies as a quick trip. To really broaden your horizons start with a sectional chart, figure out the three-hour range for your airplane, and draw a circle. Now grab your family/sweetheart/mates and let your imagination run wild. Regardless of where you live, you’ll now be in range of a beach, mountains, a lake, or maybe a few great camping spots or restaurants. So the next time you’re sitting there thinking there’s nowhere to fly, think harder.
