The Roads Less Traveled
7/19/23 - Series 6 - US-2 West, Day 8
Plains, Trains, and Automobiles!

SPECIAL ONE-TIME EARLY STREAM 3p/6e/22z

Tonight’s adventure begins near the center of North America, where westward expansion, the development of the railroad, and the management of resources presented a dichotomy of opportunity and heartache. We will discover interesting geography and talk more in depth about missiles as we race across the heartland.

The adventure starts at 7p/10e/02z. Everyone is welcome to fly along, chat, or lurk, whatever you prefer. Let’s go!

The Roads Less Traveled series is a trip down America’s back roads - the US Highways, border to border, coast to coast. Each of these group flights includes virtual tourism and a narrated history of the area through which we fly. In order to get the ”cruisin’ down the highway” perspective, we fly low and follow the roads. We will use real-world weather until we can’t maintain VFR; ATC procedures and airspace are mostly ignored so we can focus on adventure, discovery, and fun, while still doing pilot stuff!
