Duty calls

[Dan Luke]

My buddy Lamar's engineering firm has landed a contract in Canada and
he'll be gone for months. As a result, his Mooney M20F will just sit
over there at MOB unless someone else gives it some exercise.

As a dutiful friend, I have selflessly offered to take time from my busy
schedule to make sure Lamar's airplane doesn't rot in the hangar while
he's gone. I know, I know, you're saying, "Dan, you're letting Lamar
take advantage of your friendship. He ought to PAY you to fly his
airplane for him! Just paying for the gas and insurance isn't enough!"
But, no, this is a sacrifice I'm willing to make for friendship - that's
just the kind of guy I am.

So next week my CFII buddy Brent will check me out in Lamar's bird and
each week thereafter for several months I'll be tooling around in a
Mooney. Of course, my airplane needs to fly every week too, so some of
my residential maintenance duties will have to be indefinitely
postponed. Ah, well, one must prioritize one's important
responsibilities in this hectic world.

So, how long is it going to take you to get to AirVenture this year in
the Mooney?

Alas, we're going to have to poke along to OSH in my Cutlass. 135 KTAS
vs. 150+ in the Mooney.

Why is your friend not taking the Mooney to Canada?

The only reason he's told me is that he doesn't think he can make it
work out practically with the kind of work he'll be doing.

To be candid, I must say I didn't try very hard to talk him out of
leaving his airplane here for me to fly.
