A Sonex Flying the Mail?
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 10:31 amYup, you read that right. On September 11 2020, a group of pilots will be reenacting the first transcontinental mail flight from Long Island, NY to San Francisco, CA that took place September, 8 1920. The flight is broken up into multiple legs utilizing aircraft from each region it passes through. The "mail" will be souvenir postcards similar to what was on the first air mail flight in 1918. The idea is to have kids in different areas fill them out, collecting as we travel across the country.
The event is sponsored by the EAA and AOPA, but marketing hasn't really started yet.

Sonex 541 and I are signed up for Leg # 2. Bellefonte, PA to Cleveland, OH along with 2 other planes. (Going to have to get an ADS-B setup by then as KCGF is in the veil.)
Wouldn't it be great if we could get a Sonex product to do each of the legs?

The sign up page says that all legs are spoken for, but I know that some legs only have one aircraft participating.
