Probably about 5 or 6 stops to Abaco Bahamas, 2 or 3 stops to Turks. A day and a half down, day & 1/2 back up.

Many thanks for that : )

Sorry to steer away from the flying part (amazing BTW), but where is that hotel you show around 5:20? Looks amazing.

[aaronknight7]

Turks & Caicos Club, Providenciales. One of the few Grace-Bay Beach hotels that still had a room on such short notice! :-) Thanks for all the compliments by the way, everybody. Much appreciated!!!

Staniel Cay! Outstanding!

Dang Aaron, you should have let a brotha know you were heading down past North Carolina. I live right near the coast and hangar at an airport sligthly inland with some of the cheapest gas. Wallace (KACZ)

P.S. GREAT VIDEO!!!

I can't wait for the day when I can create a video response to a great video like this! Saw it first at the Sonex workshop over the weekend. You've inspired a lot of people. I started tailwheel training in a Citabria a couple months ago, and hope to be ordering a Sonex kit soon. Until then I'll keep dreaming.

How about St Maarten next...?

Hmmm... anything beyond the Turks is outta range... except Cuba & DomRep... not interested! ;-)

[RCDallas12001]

Aaron, another wonderful and inspirational video! You truly are living the dream!!

Doug, you need to see his other videos...he's got trips to the other coast as well!

Ted, I'd love to hear more about your Xenos and its flight performance, both power on and power off.

Aaron, you get the Dad award! Great trips - one son at a time. Way to go! When we met at the Sonex workshop, I saw the really young Isaiah and watched him grow up in your videos. Now we see Elisha on the same track. You a building much more than aircraft; you are building memories in your sons. They will never forget. Good for you.

OMG Aaron, you are my idol! Living the dream! Seriously, I may ask you on the Sonex Yahoo Groups list about how you planned a trip like that. Today is 5/1 and I am at the Sonex workshop, so there will be some time before planning but you have set the bar for ultimate Sonex XC trips (east coast, at least)!!

Video technique is getting better all the time. Good times!
