The current marker on Arty’s Spot is located near Van Horn, TX, close to Interstate 10 and U.S. Route 90. It’s been a thrill watching Arty and Randy’s Spot markers trace their routes across the U.S.

I just checked Arty’s blog again and found two posts dated 6 April. Either I missed them this morning – pre-coffee ground fog effect – or the stiff headwind she and Randy have experienced slowed its arrival. 
For that matter, we’re having pretty strong winds in Maryland, too.

Arty 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.

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.

Some 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!!

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.
