BEND, Ore. --Nancy Huntsman uses her small plane the way some mothers
use their Volvos. She straps in her two children, yells at the dog to
hop in the back, pops in a DVD for the kids to watch and then takes
off to fly over soaring mountains and parched deserts. Three hours
later, they land at an airstrip near grandmother's house in northern
California.

Hmmm - crossing mountains and desert in a piston single.
Not the cleverest of ideas.
Is this even legal in the USofA ?, it would certainly be illegal over
the Namib or the Kalahari.
