Hey everyone,

Doing some thinking here about how to build some hours for my commercial in a few months and myself and my current instructor are toying with the thought of taking a 172 on a journey from MI to California and back. I am estimating the total hobbs on the a/c to be about 40 hours give or take. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has ever done a similar large trip and if they had any insights to offer. I figure if I'm gonna be spending the money anyway, why not do something very cool and say that I've seen the country from a 172? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Joel
