Boyd And Judy's Excellent Adventure - Perimeter USA!

Will Tour The Outside Edges Of The Continental U.S. In An RV 7

IAC member Boyd Birchler (IAC#20432) and his wife, Judy, are planning the adventure of a lifetime. They’re planning to fly their RV 7 around the perimeter of the United States – all 8,878 miles of it! They’ll be sharing stick time as they circumnavigate their way around the lower 48.

Boyd was a regular around the Mid-America Regional contests flying competition and serving as an aerobatic judge in the 1990's and early 2000's. He flew an Eagle II in the Intermediate category and later Boyd lovingly spent many years building an Eagle 540, which was later sold to Billy Werth and used in airshows until 2014.

The route includes:

  • The U.S.- Canadian border ... 3,283 miles,
  • The U.S.-Mexican border ... 1,386 miles
  • The Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts ... 1,719, 1,315, and 1,175 miles respectively

The pair plans on departing on the USA perimeter flight, pending weather, Sunday morning. "I'm packing now, raring to go! If you can join us for any of our first day stops, please post. We'd love company! We'll be departing Indiana, KMQJ, overflying KTDZ, Toledo, OH where our USA perimeter flight officially begins," Judy writes. "First stop KPCW, Port Clinton for brunch at the Tin Goose Diner on the field. Next stop Burke Lakefront, KBLK for Women's Air & Space Museum tour. Overnight at IAG, Niagara Falls, New York."

Judy will be blogging during the trip using her website: Ladies Love Taildraggers and her FB page.
