I'd purchased a 1995 American Champion Super Decathalon, and beforeshipping it home to Japan it seemed almost sacrilegious not to fly it toOshkosh. So I departed Chino, California (CNO) on July 26th at 1300 local,with my camping gear in the back and full tanks. After skirting the Las VegasClass B and deviating around the north side of the Grand Canyon special-useairspace, my first fuel stop was Page, Arizona (PGA, elevation 4,310'). Aftertopping off at Page, I headed for Grand Junction, Colorado (GJT, 4,860')where I fueled up again and stayed the night.
