I’m not Lindbergh… This trip was ambitious for me, but quite common in the general aviation community. I spent a few months researching aircraft performance and high altitude airport flying techniques. Small aircraft are designed for these kinds of flights.

It was 87° F, a density altitude of 7300 feet and we ended up with four people, 120 gallons plus baggage, and we got off in 2400 feet with naturally aspirated engines. At that point the project is trucked 5 miles to the Prineville Airport where final assembly takes place in a hangar.
