On this trip I visited over 20 airports, covered over 4500 miles, and spent almost 48 hours in the cockpit hand flying the airplane, there’s no autopilot in my plane.  There were no mechanical problems with the plane whatsoever.  The weather was perfect going there and coming home.  There were storms all around me but the sun always shone over me.  I was privileged to fly over some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.  When you spend so much time looking down at the world and up at the sky you can help reflect on the Creator of these things.  The hand of the Maker was evident in all things.  I am thankful to God for a safe flight, the necessary skills to build the plane and conduct the flight, and the safe journey.
