When I prepared my résumé for the FAA "Master Pilot" award, I added up my cross country miles in sailplanes. I have logged 65,107 cross country miles in the fifty years that I have been soaring. I wonder how other cross country enthusiasts are doing. I know that some pilots in California routinely make long flights. Comments anyone?

Have you ever totalled up the miles you have towed a trailer in the same 50 years? -Rick |

But, judging by the number of tires I bought, it's a lot of miles. Best - Bill |
