May ’12 – USA Flying Adventures
I had long dreamt of flying that scenic high desert country in the western USA. I hoped to go and buy a used aircraft for the adventure, but then discovered that it is necessary to have at least a green card residential permit to be allowed to register an aircraft, no easy way around that. So I went and bought a 103 ultralight that doesn't require registration at all.
That's not suitable for cross-country travel so bought a trailer to carry it in and transport to various airfields to fly locally. Also a camper van to tow and sleep in. Worked very well, so went back three more years to do more. Flew from more than one hundred airfields.
