EFI Coast to Coast – Better then expected
Coast to Coast from one beach starting near Stuart, FL and landing at another beach in Venice, FL. The idea was first introduced to us by Tucker Gott, and we would like to first acknowledge his attempts with the Aviator PPG team that ultimately had them land 75 miles inland at the Arcadia Airport. Reese d’Aquin was the ground support crew for the pilots (Gillian W., Dave T., Tucker G., Ross G., and Judson G.), and he now attempts to help the next attempts. First they were going to attempt the trip from west to east on July 31, but upon arrival to the take off area, the team was greeted by an isolated storm just 3 miles off shore. Ultimately the team scrubbing the launch, they chose to fly a smaller cross country from Wachula to X07.
