Thanks to everyone who replied to my last post as I was taking an initial look at the candidate slate for Raleigh mayor. I look forward to reading the new website links over the next week.
Now, if I wanted to go somewhere within a one-to-two-hour drive, why would I take a Cessna? The last two flights logged from state-owned N122NC were trips I would have taken in a car. (Raleigh to Oxford? In a plane? Really?) Who is doing this? Are they just too lazy to drive and/or ride? I have contemplated a manifest to see who is wasting the state’s money taking a plane over taking a car, just to trim off an hour or two:

UPDATE: Apparently Oxford is one place that small planes can go for their regular maintenance. I’ve learned a lot of interesting things about planes lately having friends who are small-craft pilots.
