Hi everyone!
I am a travel writer who is "hitching" rides on general aviation planes across the US in an effort to visit all 50 states. I began in July 2012 and visited Oshkosh right off the bat. Since the, I've been to 19 states on 26 different planes including a 1940 Waco, a Hawker, a Cozy, Kitfox, VariEze etc... I have a particular interest in learning more about experimentals and ultralights.
My project has attracted a lot of media attention from the AOPA, Seattle Times, AOL Travel, and NBC's Today.com as well as numerous other outlets. I am blogging about the adventure on JetHiking.com, where you will also find photos, an overview of the project, and map of where I have been. A book is in the works...
If you are interested, you can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
I'm currently in Lafayette, Louisiana and am trying to head east (or north). If anyone can help me out in any of the southern states (or elsewhere) please let me know! Also, if you know of any events I should attend (I'm trying to make it to Sun n' Fun), or have any advice feel free to shoot me an e-mail at JetHikingGypsy@gmail.com or call (585) 245-1411. Thank you!
