Adventure Above, spearheaded by Kyle Fosso, is creating a video series about flying to all 50 states in his small, single-engine airplane- a Cessna 170. While visiting each state, they will be doing live streams, meet & greets and more all while filming for an upcoming documentary about the journey.

In command was Boeing's Assistant Director of Flight Operations, Brien Wygle and the Chief Test Pilot, Lew Wallick was co-pilot.

The official story is that the two and a half hour flight from Boeing Field to Paine Field was uneventful and Wygle even radioed down during the flight to say “I hate to quit, the airplane is a delight to fly.”

The real story is that that actual first flight took place April 7, but that it had been plagued with problems and was downplayed so official press releases advertised the second flight, on April 9 after the bugs were worked out as the official first flight.
