Ferry flights can be either great fun or a nitemare. Planning, planning, planning.

The hotels can be booked for each nite. Don't push too far each day. I did one last year and we flew 2.5 hours AM and a refuel stop then 2.5 hours PM. Always on the ground before dark. And into the nearest hotel for refreshment.

We did 8 days and 4500miles and it was a really great experience.

Have plenty of alternates. If you can go IFR then do so, it makes it so much easier. Oh and look for the yellow and black C sign, and how to fill in a flight plan twice a day.

expect it to be changed often.
