Tell your co-pilot I'd be happy to trade 3 hours for 5 days out and 5 days back.
Transmission was serviced (fluid and filter) two days ago and the service manager guaranteed me that 5K with 4300 lbs to almost 7000 feet wouldn't be a problem. I'll be calling him direct if there is and I know where he works.
Loading out today for a 6:00 departure tomorrow morning. My wife is looking at it as sort of a mini-vacation not having me underfoot for two weeks except for when she joins me at the show.
