This has not been a problem in the past, but I wanted to get it out there,
anyway.

This is a "rec.aviation" cookout.

By all means bring your co-pilot, a co-worker, a co-volunteer who's hungry
and tired, a friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, kids, interesting guest
("Oui Oui"), etc, but please DO NOT round up all your fellow campers,
hallmates, RV group, or EAA Chapter mates, etc.

Thanks much. It'll help us keep a handle on things.

That said, we "especially" like meeting LURKERS at the Rec.Aviation* N40
Party! That's always fun!

Lurkers, it's time to de-lurk! ...so, eat, drink and say "Hi" ...or just
stand around, quietly, and listen to the hangar lying all evening. :-)

Sorry, The Little French Girl just departed for JFK.
She received her ERJ-145 type certification last Friday.
She flies her first trip as a professional airline pilot tomorrow, as an
observer.
Beginning Sunday, and for all of AirVenture week, she will be flying the
line as FO.
She is living the American Dream. Five years from PPL to the right seat
of a major airline.

That would be me! Looking forward to seeing all you folks. We were there 3 years ago, but haven't made
it since. We got the plane packed this afternoon in our 118 degree heat, and I'm not sure we have room
for much Arizona beer, but we'll try. We're launching for Iowa City at o'dark thirty tomorrow morning,
OSH on Sunday.

You were there with Dad, IIRC.

Some Jack Allison news:

Jack and his Arrow full of Allisons called me around 4:30pm CST (2:30pm
where he was at - Ogden, Utah). The had a fuel stop, told the guy to fill it
to the tabs, and went in to eat. When they came out, tanks were full. 14
gallons too many. Off-load, off-load. Heat, Heat.

It was hot, and they were smelling like fuel, so Jack said, "I have an idea,
let's hit the pool."

So they're staying put in Ogden, Utah tonight. He said he had headwinds on
the nose all morning and was seeing Cessna Skyhawk ground speeds.

He was dealing with HIGH density altitude numbers too. I think he said Elko,
Nevada was over 8,000 ft.

Not sure if he had another stop in there?

Excellent memory! However, I'm the Dad, and my son is coming with me again this year.

Ha! This from the guy who invited EVERYONE ON THE FIELD to drink our
beer last year? No more "Mr. Nice Guy", eh?

:-)

I guess I shouldn't have invited the Cherokee Pilots Association? Or
the Swedish Bikini Team? Or the Friends of Iowa City Airport? Or
every guest who has EVER stayed at the inn? Or the Aerohawks R/C
Airplane Club....

Oops...

It looks like Ogden's airport is having similar problems to your airport,
Jay. They have a good portion of one runway torn up, when the Google Earth
picture was taken.

You all are the reincarnation of the Wrong Brothers Air Force party of
thirty years ago in the UW-O dorms. We invited the WORLD to the party and
got aussies, airline captains, nubile 18 year olds, and the odd pilot from
east bf egypt to the gig.

As the last remaining Colonel (we were all Colonels) of the Wrong Brothers
Air Force, I commission Jay, Montblack, Jack, Dan, and anybody else who
wants to apply for a Wrong Brothers commission to the North 40 wing of the
WBAF.

I am the Colonel of the Grass Valley Wing, and apparently the last surviving
Colonel of the WBAF.

I'll print them out and sign them tonight and email them to Jay for
distribution tomorrow.

They are suitable for framing. The North 40 party could do worse than
naming themselves the Wrong Brothers Air Force North 40 convention.

To add insult to injury, I was picked up, processed then let go pending
the date.


Next time, pay your parking meter ticket(s) on time! g

Nobody - all 8 days, alone in the dorm room. Just me. Sigh.
....I smell a money maker :-)

Actually, I've got all kinds of people staying with me! You're off the
hook - at least in Wisconsin.

That's it, my last trip to Newsgroupland for 10 days. I'm heading out in 15
minutes - 3:45am.

Airplane of minivans is loaded...
