We finally got back up to KIOW to retrieve our Cherokee yesterday. We
were getting ready to head out in the morning, but ended up waiting out a band of showers that passed through in the morning down here, too. Beautiful trip up & back (I flew one of my partners up in our club's 182). Once I trimmed it up, I hardly had to touch the yoke for an hour. Wonderful! Hey Steven -- I was just going to ask if you needed us to fly your Cherokee back to SPI for you. I didn't realize you guys had already come and gone. Mary could have flown the Pathfinder, and I could have flown the 180... It would have been fun! I hope your partner (and his wife) had fun with us -- even though the plane got stranded by the cruddy weather. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

(unless you're willing to admit you know how to hot-wire an airplane...) Thanks though. I think he had fun. That was his first (& most likely not last) stranding due to weather. He's getting ready to start on his IFR training. I'm about 3/4 way done. I'll have to get up there & try the grass strip at Amana. I haven't used a grass strip since my primary training 2 years ago. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll use a club plane for that...

Heck, grass is actually *easier* on your airframe than concrete or asphalt... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Yes, the tyres (tires for those in the US) last longer. Paul
