I came to Fort Lauderdale airport picking up a Kodiak Quest SN161 with Chris the new owner. We flew from Fort Lauderdale to Leesburg, Fl then continued along the Florida's panhandle to Alexander Louisiana. It took us another 5 hours of flying from Alexander airport to El Paso Texas. This was the width of the state of Texas. Along the way we saw the changes in landscape and the burning of gas from oil wells across western Texas. It took us 15 hours of flying and two fuel stops after leaving Fort Lauderdale Florida
