An autopilot and Aspen primary flight display reduce workload on long flights. The fixed-base operator (Regional Jet Center) filled up our fuel tanks and provided complimentary hot dogs and ice cream for brunch. We enjoyed an excellent airborne picnic of paninis and burgers on our flight to Louisville.
