Probably never do it again but 70+ miles. NE Wind kicked up on the way in still 50 miles out. Pucker factor was HIGH while fuel was getting LOW.

Blue - hey same model V21......

75 miles out in the V is a hike and definitely pushed the fuel range.

Texas Tower 75 out. Did Chicken Canyon 60 out many times.

I saw a story somewhere about someone back in the 70's taking a V20 to the Cayman Islands from Miami
