Default Flying to Texas...recommendations?

Texas has lots of military flying and very active MOAs. Watch out for them.
If you go IFR you will be OK. If VFR, I recommend staying out of any MOA
that is active. Call the local FSS for status of any MOA.



We always use Flight Following, which keeps us apprised of the MOA
status.

Looks like our plans for flying to Texas tomorrow are scrubbed --
crappy weather coming for the next few days -- so we're heading to
Kitty Hawk instead, and maybe into Virginia.

If Texas clears up, we might catch it on the way back...

Jay, you use a different map. Texas on the way back from Virginia to Iowa?

This is Jay's umpteenth attempt at flying to the Hangar Hotel. Weather, or
schedule, has always blocked his path.

So yes, Texas is on the way home. g

Mario Andretti wouldda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trott

Now I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot

I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin
then I figgered I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there

When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin
And I didn't slow down till I was almost to Arkansas

I think I'm gonna reroute my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to L.A., via Omaha

Ha! We listened to that song on the way down. I still know EVERY
WORD of that song, and yet I had NO idea that it was performed by
Charlie Daniels! XM radio displays the "artist" in the digital
display, which has really been handy for those weird songs that you
love (from decades ago), but don't know who performed them...
