35 Airports In One Day Web Site
A couple of years back a pair of brothers (?) rented a Piper Arrow and flew
it to 35 airports in the San Francisco Bay Area starting at Reid Hillview and ending up back there. One of them did a web site describing this exploit. For the life of me, I can not find the web site. I really liked that web site and would like to track it down. The address I have for the site is: http://www.best.com/~rgr/35Airports/ Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks. Paul |

This rec.aviation newsgroup thread woke us from our sleep and the "35
Airports In One Day" website has been resurrected for your reading pleasure. (thanks Rick) It can now be found at www.karicori.com/35airports There are two follow-ups to the story. When my brother Rick and I took this trip, he did the flying, and I took the photos. Since then, Rick has wrestled the camera from my clutches and become a professional photographer. I in turn have taken the flight controls from him and become a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor. Also, last year I flew my Bonanza V35 from San Jose to Charleston, SC and back again for the ultimate cross country flight! I am in the process of posting my email/journals and photos of the trip to a website. Enjoy the "35 Airports" website and if you're in need of a CFI with a little bit of cross-country experience, give me a ring.

So did you stop at Charleston, or did you go all the way to the coast so you can rightfully claim a "coast-to-coast" trip? |

Pacific waters to Atlantic waters. I'll let you know when the "trip report"
is online. I actually stayed over at East Cooper (8S5) outside of Charleston.

Coincidently, the current issue of Private Pilot magazine has an article by a guy who did 21 airports in 1 day, including LAX. I thought that was pretty impressive, but 35? wow. |

I am not sure if I am all that impressed. May be airports are more
sparsely spaced in San Fancisco, but here (in Dayton) we have 25 public airports within a 30 mile radius. If I include private airports, that number becomes 75. It can't be that difficult to hit a dozen airports every hour. "Paul Magid" wrote in message thlink.net...

I am. 12 airports in an hour? That would be 5 minutes/airport. It takes 5 minutes, at least, just to travel around a normal pattern in an average GA plane. Gads! So they used non-"normal" patterns?! Good thing they weren't trying that in Iowa. --kyler |
