Photos from Ercoupe flight from Neenah, WI to Hysham, MT
May 31-June 2, 2006

I ferried an antique 1946 Ercoupe 415-D to a new owner in Montana with my friend Julie riding along as a passenger. The trip took 11.2 hours over 2 days, with an airline flight home on the third day. The Ercoupe's groundspeed ranged from 73 to 95 knots for the trip across the plains.

A photo of the Ercoupe's cockpit while the plane was still disassembled for an annual inspection. This photo was taken with the GPSIII Pilot GPS mounted on the pilot's side. For my trip, I mounted a Garmin GPSMAP 295 to the copilot's side of the panel.
