Flew Across the United States in a Light Sport Airplane

I bought an Avid Flyer Mk IV, gross weight 1150 lbs, and flew it from Oakland California to Chester Connecticut in June. Average speed 72 knots.
It was the trip of a lifetime for me, all the more fun for having spent my career as a professional pilot, and finally responsible for just wandering across this vast country at my own pace. I also did it without a functioning comm radio, all the more terrific!
