We have been asked a lot about how long will it take you to get to AZ or how long is each leg of the race. These time tables are general estimates without factoring in winds aloft. The race will not take 21.5 hrs because we are not flying at normal cruise speed but these should give you an idea of our time in the air.
We are not flying in a commercial airplane. :o)
