C-150 to Florida

I have a C150 thats needs to be flown from Alberta to Florida this spring.....drop me a pm. Looking for a pilot who is interested in some time building - guessing approximately 30hrs of flight time.

Beware.........could be a smuggling operation. I've seen this before with young pilots who get caught off guard.

Are there a lot of narcotics sourced in Alberta that need to go to Florida? Kilos of illict Alberta beef perhaps? Diamonds, from the Alberta diamond mines?

Do it yourself? It'd be a hoot. I took a 150 from Toronto to the Bahamas for two weeks many years ago. Total good time.

I might just do the trip myself...it would be an experience with the Mrs.!! Probably take 4 or 5 easy days in good weather. I did ferry a 402 down a couple years ago and that took 3 days.

Fresh out of my Private Pilot License at Voyageur Airways in 1977; I took off for the Florida Cays in one of Max's Cherokee 140's to build time for my commercial. Brought my wife...ok, that was 3 wives ago.... Still owned by Bradley's back then. Anyhow, it was a hoot. Heading there with 55 hours TT to build time. Nothing in the back but a tent and a sleeping bag!

I think they still talk about me in the MIA ACC.

TALK about you???? Hell mate, there's a WANTED POSTER, with your name on it!
Pity, our days of doing trips like that are in the past. That's what general aviation should be!
