Across the USA-flight relay

Joe Kirby said
Hello Jeff,


From NY it went to I43 - KTZR - 3W2 - I43 - KDWU - I18 and now back to I43.

OK, I think I got it now. I'm assuming the leg between Penn Van, NY (KPEO) and Canandaigua, NY (KIUA) was never reported. 
 
Jeff, It looks like leg 31 to KDWU should read Ashland, KY.

Joe Kirby, I'd love to meet up with the BAC Bear before he departs Ohio for the continued journey. No longer a Mouse driver, but if it could happen, I'd be a happy ex-driver!

I have now checked off the states of New York, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, including an island vacation to Put In Bay.  The BAC Bear has gone from KIUA (NY) to I43(OH) and KTZR (OH), 3W2 (OH), KDWU (KY) and I18 (WVa).  Who gets her next, John in Indiana?

Do we know who did that leg?

I see that the bear is in Indiana now. Any update on who and how?

I would say John Redmon's (Aviator_) return flight from KJRO to MKQJ, Indiana is a fairly safe assumption.

Amazing how hard this thread is to follow. So confusing....

I deduced my comment from Aviator_'s Fly-in thread. I was not able to attend, but John R and Joe K are the only pilots in the fly-in / bear handoff photo. Joe added a comment after that fly-in that the bear was now in Indiana.

I have not confirmed the bear's actual location.

I find that scenario highly unlikely. My best guess is that Joe Kirby flew the bear to the fly-in at I74 where John Redmon picked it up and flew it to KQJ. If so, both get points for their flights.

What scenario is highly unlikely, Alan? Your best guess is exactly what I said, and it is exactly the sequence of events as described in the initial invitation post and six responses of John's Fly-In event to I74 (KJRO).

You said, "I would say John Redmon’s (Aviator_) return flight from KJRO to MKQJ, Indiana is a fairly safe assumption." I don't think Redmon went to JRO. I think he met the bear at I74.

I agree, Alan. I went back one post too far in this thread and cited the incorrect airport from an earlier planned meeting. Sorry for the confusion.

This has been way harder to follow than I ever thought it would be.

No kidding. It's not much different than keeping a logbook. Fly, write down what you did.

I really have no idea if the last few legs are represented accurately on the map or not, even after reading the last few posts multiple times.
