Hey fellow fliers! We all had a BLAST last year with the Cannonball and the other races in the Series. But, I would like to propose running the single race from New York to LA non-stop, and limit ALL participants to the stock C-172 only (XBox or PC varieties). We could make the trip in the FS discord, or even do the flight in the TexasPropsCrews server on discord, to keep each other awake. But really what we all need to know is, HOW MANY of you crazy fliers are willing to put up with 24 hours of physical stick time on the day after Christmas? And if I had to propose another idea, would be to try to “suggest” contributions to the National Make A Wish Foundation directly. We all “wish” to be able to see all the places we fly to, and there are plenty of very sick kids that really need to have a little fun wish as well. Sometimes it could be their last fun. I know, I lost a 16 year old son to Brain Cancer in 2000. I know how much Make a Wish meant to my family!
I have made this trip TWICE. I know the commitment that the race involves. I know the fun that we all had, talking about the weather, the flying, the challenges.
Am I CRAZY? Probably. But I pose the question, any of you guys want to try it with me?? I will schedule it and start the prop turning if a few guys want to JOIN ME!!
