Still flying east
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Arty’s Sunday report and pictures
Monday, April 6th, 2009Arty posted a flight report about Sunday’s flight and finally connecting with Randy Simpson. When you check the two SPOTs today you may see Randy’s move ahead of and then back to Arty’s SPOT. Her Drifter flies a bit slower than Randy’s Carrera. Anyway, without further ado, check the latest news here.
Arty Trost and Randy Simpson in Willcox, AZ
Sunday, April 5th, 2009
Based on the two SPOTs for Arty and Randy, they are currently near Interstate 10 outside of Willcox, AZ. They are due east of Tucson and not far from the New Mexico state line. It will be interesting to read Arty’s next post and find out when and where Randy finally caught up with her. Watch this space. If Arty posts something this evening, I’ll post an update tomorrow morning.
Heading into the sun
Sunday, April 5th, 2009Those magnificent men and women in their flying machines
Saturday, April 4th, 2009Some years back there was the comedy, “Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.” Madcap pilots racing around the world for a trophy. I was reminded of the movie when I read today’s post at Arty’s blog. Apparently, flying buddy Randy is closing the gap between him and Arty as they continue their flight to Florida. Here are links to Arty’s blog, Arty’s SPOT and Randy’s SPOT. Fly Safe, folks!!
In a holding pattern on the ground

Arty Trost and her Maxair Drifter
Arty has chosen wisely to follow an old saying that many pilots know well, “I’d rather be on the ground wishing I was up in the air, than in the air wishing I was on the ground.” She left a short note at her blog and will see what things look like tomorrow.

Adventure on the wing
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009The spirit of adventure is still alive and well in America! What I’m feeling right now, must have been in years past similar to the excitement folks felt about the aviation exploits of Amelia Earhart. I get such a thrill from following the progress of Arty Trost as she continues her aerial odyssey from Sandy, OR to Lakeland, FL. I just finished reading Arty’s first post since she began her flight…again. She writes so well that you can practically feel the cold and see the drifting clouds and majestic mountains. I swear I can smell the coffee at the FBO’s she stopped at! Continue the flight with Arty by reading her latest post and watch her progress on SPOT. Fly safe, my friend!
