Relay Section 5 Discussion

Greetings all. It looks like I'll be able to connect with Loye the first part of next week to continue the relay to the west coast. I'm based in San Diego (KMYF) and a potential hurdle is the annual May Grey conditions. The marine layer "usually" burns off by mid-late morning.

It's time to start thinking about future handoffs to keep it going. What is everyone's location and availability?

Cheers,

OK I'm up near Lake Tahoe (actually KGOO), and can handle NorCal, or Northern Nevada duties! My Ercoupe is currently in annual, but should be up again in a week or so. I have a trip scheduled up to central Oregon in two weeks, as well.

Based on the email chain for Group 4 I believe Tom and Loye were planning on getting the four corners (Colo. Utah, NM, AZ ) as well as Nevada. I could take over from Laye at his home base of A20 and get it into Cali. starting with San Diego. I can start it up the state if folks don't want to brave the Class Bravo airspace is SOCAL. John

Here's the "Pre Sun N' Fun" Update:

This is my proposed handoff map. Pilots will need to "tag" their nearby states, this is just an approximate map of these pilot's home bases.

BLACK LINES = Brooks Flying
ORANGE LINES = Other Pilots Flying

Let me know what you think.
 

I'm good for anything that is within 500 miles or so of San Diego any time except flying on May 10, 17, 21, or June 11.  John

This is the place to discuss Section5, in which the relay flies from CA to WA.

Pilots so far include: Loye Hilton (depending on how section 4 ends), John Jones, Larry & Joe Shinn, Ron Holmes, James Good, Tracy Koberstein, and Charles Rosenfield.
