Angel Flight was in a bit of a bind to fill this one, so I let them talk
me into it, even though it is 650 nm and will end up taking six hours or
so, ground time included.


Dan, I thought you were selling your airplane?

Awesome of you to take a flight of this duration for Angel Flight, in any
regard.


I agree. I only made one flight of that duration when I was flying for
AirLifeLine many years ago. I was based at ELM and most of my pickups
weren't local, but typically weren't too far away (Harrisburg, Erie,
Williamsport, etc.). However, I flew one flight that required me to
pickup up the patient in Cincinnati and fly him to Philly. By the time
I flew from ELM to Cincy, to Philly and returned to ELM, I'd used the
major portion of a Saturday. It was a great flight, however.
