    17 Day Hamburger Run & Airplane Trip

    We (Wife & I) just completed 17 day long hamburger run and airplane trip. We landed in 12 different airports, visited 3 aviation museums, (Fargo Air Museum, RCAF Museum, USAF Museum) and got to see two other KIS4 airplanes similar to mine. In the 17 days we covered 4,193.2 miles in 30.1 hrs of flying and finally flew to Canada. It included 11.9 hrs of actual instrument time, 3 GPS approaches, 3 ILS approaches and 13 landings.

    The flights we made:


    Somewhere over the Midwest:


    Placing the Canadian flag on our airplane.


    One of the other KIS4 airplanes we saw along the way:


    The view out the cockpit for many of the flight hours:


    Trips like this are one of the best things about General Aviation.

    Careful now with the insults. There's a few Winnipegers on this forum.
