For the past 4-5 years I have combined my pilgrimage to Oshkosh with trying to visit as many friends as I can along the way who live in the midwest. After coordinating schedules, this was the preliminary flight plan I came up with:
Day 1: Fly to Cleveland (KLPR)
Day 2: Fly to Oshkosh
Day 3-6: Oshkosh!
Day 7: Fly to Minneapolis (KSGS)
Day 8: Fly to Des Moines (KIKV) with my friend from Miineapolis
Day 9: Fly to Twin Cities, WI (5K6).
Day 10: Fly to Minneapolis to drop my friend off, then fly to Sturgeon Bay (KSUE).
Day 11: Fly around Lake MI to Port Huron, MI (KPHN)
Day 12: Fly to Toledo for lunch with a friend and then back home.

Garmin Pilot said the trip would take 16 hours, flying 2596nm and consuming 153.4G of fuel. Let's see how closely my theoretical trip correlated to reality?
