Well, I’m officially back now. I’m actually typing this up from the office. On Saturday we all met back up at Air Park for their weekly EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) grill out. Then we did a little flying and filming with the N95. See the video below. This is us flying over the Sonoma wine country. I’m in the J3 with my girlfriend Jenny. Her brother is doing the filming from another Cub flying along side.
The video below is a long awaited celebratory drink of some really nice port wine that I picked up in Portugal just before making the long journey West. It was a good feeling to have finally made it.
Lastly, I want to say a quick thanks to the following people.
Jay, for helping me get the plane ready to go. My good friend Jeff Smith (AKA Smitty) for helping with the financial side of the production. Tom Garland for driving ground crew. Tom Howard for making the long flight as co-pilot. Jenny for putting up with me :). Kamar, who agreed to support the trip. Nokia, for the use of the N95’s. And all of the folks that offered their hangers to us when we put down for the night.
I’m preparing one last post for the blog and then I’ll officially end AdventureCub.com. But keep checking out my other blog MyPhoneRocks.com, I’m working on another trip for next year that will hopefully be bigger, better and longer ![]()

Thank you Paul for yet again, doing something that is super cool and of course, risks your life.
I am thankful you thought to include me on this project and my only regret is that I wanted to do more.
Maybe next year you can fly to Oshkosh, WI!!!!
Glad you made it safe!!!

Hi Paul,
Great coverage of your trip. And great pictures. I wish I had the time to make such a trip.
Now that you have had a chance to fly with the Lightspeed Zulu headset. Can you leave some feedback on its performance?
Thanks
