A couple of weeks ago, I ferryed N2013T, a wonderful 1946 Ercoupe to its new owner, John Pound. I departed Spruce Creek Airport which is located 5 miles from the Atlantic ocean, flew to Frostproof, Florida to pick up my good friend, Lynn Nelsen, and landed five days later in southern California, close to the Pacific Ocean. We only had one bad weather day which kept us grounded. Day one provided us a bit of a tailwind but all the following days had the wind blowing on our nose, and often with a vengence. Notice one of the pictures showing our ground speed on the GPS at one MPH! Flying low and slow (very slow) across America is in awesome experience, quite literally. From the beauty bends of the powerful Mississippi River to the deserts of Texas and Arizona to the majestic Rocky Mountains to the deep valleys of California, shadowed by eleven thousand foot mountains, crossing our country in a sixty-three year old airplane with an eighty-five horsepower engine is a remarkable experience. John has one of the nicest Ercoupe around and will have many glorious flying hours ahead of him. Glen
