USA Private Flying Blogs/Journals/Trip Reports?

[rm2242]

Hi all

Does anyone know of any private pilots that are keeping online journals/trip reports of their cross country flights? Im particularly keen on reading any from the USA. I did read one chap's where he documented a long flight from Texas to California which he did in order to pick up his new Citabria. It was fascinating reading about the journey in and out of all those remote FBOs in the desert.

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob

I'm afraid I can't help you with any other blogs but do you have a link to the one you mentioned? Sounds interesting!

Of course: The Long Flight Home in Citabria N5156X (almost) (by Jeremy Zawodny) (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/006655.html)

He has a few others on here amongst other stuff. Eventually the plane gets written off in a landing gear accident. Took a while to filter through all the non-aviation stuff in order to find the flying entries.

This chap: Frank Holbert, flies out of Corona Ca. and has an excellent website which might be what you're looking for.

He's an occasional poster on the Flyer forum

Mine doesn't quite but almost fits the description... mostly ferry flights from the US to Europe but some posts about the US portions of the flights as well.

Cusco - thank you - great little site!

wwelvaert - also, thank you - very interesting site. I will enjoy looking through that!

Any more are of course welcome, but to those already responded, its very much appreciated.

And Ryan5252 - have you seen the Sixth Sense, or perhaps Shawshank Redemption? I will only be too happy to spoil those for you if not. :)

Cheers,
Rob

They may be type specific, but some nice write-ups often on Van's Air Force:

You really do need to look at my page. Lots of cross country flights in the SW USA. Almost all with photos of the area and video of the approach. Flying the Bellanca Super Viking (http://160knots.com) .
