Flight4Lives Trip Almost Finished!

Chris and Corrine McLaughlin are back in the U.S., having landed in Miami and then Naples Florida late last month. Both have some pressing matters to attend to before finishing their planned multi-month round trip flight that began at Nantucket and reached the southern tip of South America. Their plan is to complete their trip by flying from Naples to Nantucket this month. Their Cessna Skyhawk (named Blue Jay) needs a "well earned" oil change and some "little things" to be looked at according to Chris. He adds in his latest Facebook post that the plane "really performed wonderfully give what we asked of it and where we took it".

Looking at their website, Chris and Corrine's postings are full of interesting items - both aviation and travelogue related. They took some great photos along the way too! Chris and Corrine took this journey to raise awareness of human organ transplants and donations, a process that saved Chris' life a few years ago. With their journey almost complete, look at their experiences, and remember that if it wasn't for a life-saving transplant, the trip wouldn't have occurred at all. Their web site is: www.flight4lives.com.
