Re: flying low - was 108 MPH average

["R. Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

I know this to be the case.  However, like I said the trip was between WA
and CO.  You spend most of you time in Montana and Wyoming.  Most of the
others drivers cruise at about 95 or so (I had a cop pass me in a Taurus
going about 115-120, great protection from other cops.  Followed him for
about 150 miles at which point I needed to refill.).

Again, I know the dangers of this and only take passengers who are willing
to drive/ride at this speed.  Most of the passengers I have driven with are
Europeans or have lived in Europe where it is not uncommon to travel like
this.


Happy flying.
