...who's going? I might pop in for awhile on Saturday. I haven't flown since my plane went in for its annual but I haven't submitted my pork request because I probably won't go if the weather isn't good enough to bring my wife. Any suggested times? Should we bring our own bowling balls? --kyler |

IF my plane is out of annual, and IF the hotel staffing holds together, and IF the weather is okay -- we'll be there Saturday from around 1 PM till supper time. Are we supposed to bring our own food, or how does that work? It'll be Mary, my son, and me. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay asks...
Are we supposed to bring our own food, or how does that work? O dear, you need not bring food, nor beer. Last year Nauga (a swell fellow most often seen in the Homebuilt group) brought an excellent selection of imported brews to add to the selection in the Beer Fridge in Highflyer's hangar. If you don't like clutter or mechanical parts, too bad -- you'll note that the hangar is proof of the difference between the X and Y chromosomes. It is, to say the least, primitive...though we cover the tables with plastic ala Church Basement Dinner to achieve sufficient sterile conditions for eating the frequent excellent meals. If you spend a little time flying other people around in your plane and letting them reciprocate the favor and then visit the aforementioned Beer Fridge, you'll never notice the clutter (though in past years an airgun's been made available for bold souls willing to reduce the number of noisy birds nesting in the rafters). Highflyer's wife Mary, a delightful woman, was a meatcutter by trade for years, and the gigantic barbecue wagon produces cooked bits of carnivore food that are nothing short of exquisite. Upon departure last year I was still threatening to break into the hangar one last time to revisit any remains of the tenderloin that might be left. You have not eaten like this at any flyin you've ever attended. And for conversation, company and sheer casual time-wasting among one of the most intelligent groups of people ever to dress like hoboes in Hawaiian shirts, there is no parallel. We leave tomorrow soon as I get off work. |

Dang -- I won't be able to partake in my favorite beverage, as we will be required to fly home for the evening. :-( Does Highflyer or Mary collect anything for the feast? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

It just require a bit of planning. You be the PIC on the trip to PJY and Mary can be PIC on the trip home while you nap in the backseat :-). The weater here sucks (thunderstorms). It looks like we'll be traveling at 0 ft. agl again this year. OTOH, the useful load is over a ton (lots of beer) and the 260 hp V-8 only burns 4 gph at cruise. - John Ousterhout - |

Yeah, the cold front just went through here about 20 minutes ago. Went from 80 to 60 in a few seconds... Tomorrow is supposed to be good, though. We'll see you there, God willin' and the creek don't rise... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" "John Ousterhout" wrote in message ...

I was going to send my regards over the unicom from FL330 as I passed overhead, but a 4 hour ground hold for O'Hare stymied that effort. An hour and of half of holding over Louisville (at somewhat more than 4 GPH) ended with a divert to Indianapolis. We parked on a hard-stand (amongst 27 other diverts) with a full load of pax and lousy air conditioning. The tower controller was working alone and he was slammed when ORD Approach finally released us all at the same time. His words to us were, "No flight plan on file". We finally landed at ORD and one of the 4 brakes overheated. That's when I was thinking about PJY barbeque (because all the restaurants in the terminal were closed). Leaving ORD for LAX, we ran along the south side of that line of storms. It was definitely a powerful display from Mother nature. Maybe I'll make it next year. D. |
