It was a bonus aluminum tube travel day as I stopped in Charlotte, NC and Las Vegas,
NV before getting home to Sacramento. A 12-hour/2-stop day but it was the lest expensive ticket given booking on short notice.
While it's been an amazing trip, I'm glad to be home. Living out of a suitcase and checking in/out of hotels every couple of days gets kind of old after a while.
Trip stats:
- Hours flying the Arrow: 9.1. Less than I'd expected but they all involved flights to places I'd never been before.
- Aviation museums/attractions visited: 6 (Chanute, USAF Museum, New
England Air Museum, Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, Udvar-Hazy, Fantasy of
Flight)
- Non aviation museums/attractions visited: 1, the naval museum in
Norfolk. While they did have some exhibits on naval aviation, the
closest thing they had to an airplane was a big model of an A6 Intruder.
- New states flown to (or over): 11 (Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York, Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida)

Hello,
My name is Megan Peterson, and I work at an Internet map-content start-up company in Boulder, Colorado. I just perused your blog. In general, we're trying to bring information about aeronautical location-relevant information (among other interests like RVing, art, fishing, etc.) onto the Internet (Google maps, for example) as well as onto GPS devices and in-car navigation units. Our initial focus is on the US, Canada & UK. Our site will be structured and dynamic, driven by our users who will create and edit content (like a Wikipedia page). Also, our site will be free to all users, registered or not.
I'm very interested in having you participate in our closed site review occurring in several weeks. Essentially, we'd give you login information, have you create a user profile, peruse the site (i.e. the aeronautical locations), and give us detailed feedback. Also, we will enable you to invite others who may be interested in our site.
Ideally, you enjoy and contribute to our site, and blog about it. We're hoping this is something you'd be interested in.
Thanks for your time. Please feel free to email me with any questions. I look forward to your response.
Cordially,
Megan Peterson
