About 80% of general aviation aircraft fly using Lycoming engines. Clearing the trees at the end of the runway. Leaving 4500ft for 6500ft. Maintaining airflow and generating lift across the wings. All are impossible without a reliable engine. Lycoming powers my training aircraft and so fuels my quest for a private pilot certificate. This blog is a record of my thoughts and experiences on life, flight, and learning.

One Million Miles...

Sounds like something Dr. Evil would say, huh? I found this blog by a B747 cargo pilot, who is 17 days into his quest to get 1,000,000 air travel miles using the Air Canada 60-day unlimited air travel pass. Would you get tired of flying YVR (Vancouver) to YUL (Montreal) and back again 30 times? I think that you might...but if I had $3500 canadian to burn and the time to spend, I could see myself in this guy's shoes. I hope he makes it!
