I’ve recently read a book, titled ‘Flight of Passage’, written by Rinker Buck, which recounts the events that he and his brother encountered in 1966, when they flew across the Continental United States in a Piper Cub. Inspired by this, I decided to undertake the same flight, in the underused XCub that is available to us in Infinite Flight. I dragged along @Errigal for the flight, and it’s turned out to be fun! From our start in Morristown, New Jersey, we will be flying to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. Enjoy!

Parked at Morristown, getting the FPL together. I am in the Red and White, while @Errigal flies the EAA 50th.
After a short takeoff roll, and a circle around the field, we get to the FPL, and try some formation flying (as a flight of 2)
