You don't hear about the North -South trips from the early era like you hear about the East- West trips.
Hey Rob are there any newspaper accounts about this?

Here's an article about the 1903 cross country trip:



For a readable copy, go to this link:

If anyone is interested, I recommend they read this story about "Bud," one of the intrepid cross country pilots:

A few pics from the link above. Bet you can guess which one is "Bud."
