Starting from Texas, strong winds and gusts were prevailing, making the crosswind landings a big challenge. Most of the local people called 2005 "the year of the winds". However, the 18 stops during the trip from Florida through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico to Arizona with all the friendly people and helpers as well as the excellent conditions of the runways made it an unforgetable journey. The total flying time was 43 hrs for 2500 miles (4200 km). The aircraft was a Amphibian Experimental Type Searey powered by an Rotax 914 Turbo engine.
