FAA approval and ferry permit in hand by Saturday noon, my partner Brian Stoltzfus and I arranged to meet in Oklahoma City a convenient point in the Midwest with good airline service. I would bring 008 from near JAARS at Lancaster, SC where the runway was long enough to accommodate my additional weight (under the special permit from the FAA).
Brian would airline it there from his home in Ohio where his family runs an aviation business, Priority Air Cargo. Brian has prior experience with this type of over-water flight, and also a long history of support and involvement in mission aviation. His family has been a good friend of JAARS and other mission groups for many years. After a night in Oklahoma City, we were ready to head for the California coast.
