I knelt at the shrine back in '84, along with a side trip to Gates BBQ joint and
a trip to the Royals baseball park.

However, a straight line between Grass Valley and Kitty Hawk runs pretty much
directly over MKC. We may just see you on the way in December -- either in the
182 or the Governor's Citation, one or the other {;-)

Anybody around there have autogas on the airport for sale?

Autogas? By then you'll be filling up your new plane with Jet-A at
the taxpayers expense.

Hmmm?
Does this mean that you will be obtaining your Citation rating at
taxpayer expense?
Or is the filing fee considered pre-payment to the state in exchange for
the rating?

Yah, but you can say with all honesty that you ran for governor in the
state of California in the 2003 recall election...Yah really don't
have to say "recall" unless some one asks. And...looking at the list,
I'd bet you don't come in last either...although that Porn star will
probably have a lot of boosters.

Jim

What you need is getting some name recoginization.

For example, can you land in the Rose Bowl. The publicity would be
worth a million dollars when the media got their teeth into it. You
might have to dissasemble the A/C to get out but........

There are other things you can do to get in the paper or on TV. Think
out of the box.

Your 30 second sound bite woud be that you accomlished the impossible
(landing in Rose Bowl) and you will do the same with California.

If I were back in CA I'd join your team. Arnold signed up Buffett and
you need some old gray foxes like BOb and me to even the playing
field.

was such a dark horse that when the press came to the door to wake him up the

Interesting you should mention Hiram Johnson, our first and last Progressive
governor.

One, his son was a member of my college fraternity at the time. College
Mixers were prominently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle during that
period.

Second, it was during his administration that the whole proposition/recall
experiment in Direct Democracy was started. That brought us Prop 13, and
Larry Flynt for governor.

Hiram Johnson broke the power of the mining and, in particular, the railroad
interests, that dominated the state at the time in a manner un-imaginable
today (read Frank Norris "The Octopus" to get an idea of what it was
like...) but even as a left-of-liberal small d democrat, I think both the
propositions and the recall have gotten out of hand.

Hmmm, how am I going to get back on topic (this is RAH afterall) from
here......

A prior poster said that Octave Chanute was flying gliders in San Diego when
Hiram Johnson was governor.

I believe that the gliderguider in San Diego was John J. Montgomery, after whom
Montgomery Field in San Diego on Kearny Mesa was named. Chanute's bio says
nothing about being in SD.

Landing in the Rose Bowl was just a thought out of the box. You need
something like that (outrageous) so that the media will pick up and
get your name recognized across the whole of CA.

Of course if you had an 'emergency' and had to land there you might
beat the FAA rap <G>

Land, pull a plug and put in a shorted plug for the FAA to find. Think
out of the box.

Gett'm tiger.

From the EAA Fridaygram...
EAA MEMBER THROWS HAT IN CALIFORNIA RING
We received word this week that Jim Weir, a longtime EAA member and
AirVenture forums presenter, is among the 130-plus candidates who will
appear on the ballot for governor of California in the recall election this
fall. Jim admits that he is quite a long shot in the race, which has been
dominated by high-profile personalities thus far. He does add, though, that
his candidacy gives at least one option for voters who support general
aviation in California.
