After the last three shows on airplane ownership, it\'s only natural to talk about what comes next.\\xa0 And of course the answer is, TAKE A TRIP.\\xa0 But where?\\xa0 I suspect if I asked all of you, the answer wouldn\'t be to take a 5,000 mile, 63 hour international flight over 2 1/2 weeks.\\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0

But that\'s exactly what tonight\'s guest did.\\xa0 Join us as we "sit down" with Curtis Pierce, a Phoenix-based airline pilot, proud Mooney owner, and now an author.\\xa0 His memoir, "Pacific On The Right", takes us back 20 years as a young CFI, Curtis joined with a freshly minted private pilot, who bought a new 172 and decided to reposition it to Santiago, Chile.\\xa0\\xa0

Listen as Brandon and Marc discuss, the planning, the language and culture challenges, weather, and even landing at an airport that hadn\'t seen an airplane in over 5 years.\\xa0 Talk about a challenging first flight!!!\\xa0 How about you?\\xa0 What was your longest flight?\\xa0 Anything international?\\xa0 What did you put in the log book.\\xa0 We\'d love to hear your story.\\xa0 Please share it with the rest of the SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community @simpleflightradio

Thanks for being a part of the SimpleFlight Family!!
