3rd Annual Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party July 23rd!

forward to it. Brother Steve has already been arm twisted
(didn't take much) into co-pilot duties so, once again the Allison
brothers from the left coast will journey East...though, a bit faster this
time. Need to look at one day vs. two in getting to IOW but that's all
part of the planning fun.


Wanna plan on a convoy from the left coast to IOW that weekend? The 182 has
a hard time meeting 110 knots TAS, but we can certainly make some
arrangements.

First night stop is either Rawlins or Alliance, with a relatively easy next
day into IOW. No reason to press the issue unless you need to.

Of course Jack knows best, but I'm getting the impression that a one day
scoot might be in his thoughts.... g

If you remember the movie A Christmas Story (1983)

Ralphie's little brother gets a blimp (on wheels) for a toy. He was in a
background shot, like a kid on speed, pushing his metal toy dirigible
around, and around (like a race car) and around, and around - as fast as he
could spin himself in a circle - it's a blimp!!. Later, we see him passed
out (exhausted) "under" the Christmas Tree, cuddling his new toy :-)

Good Gawd, Jim! Try positioning that black knob further towards the
*front* of the aircraft! You might be amazed...

Happy Flying!

When avgas was 50 cents a gallon, that was the operative solution. I
generated a series of spreadsheets that tells me for any given head/tail
wind what the optimum miles per gallon power setting is and I fly that
fairly religeously. It isn't in my pocketbook to fly any other way.

That thought has crossed my mind Jim...so long as there are no stops at
little known former airports for unscheduled repairs :-)

When I get a chance to do some flight planning based on the numbers for
the Arrow, I'll drop you an e-mail (or, just fly up to your neck of the
woods...now that I can).

I'll be in the hangar for the next couple of weekends R&R that band-aid jug
I put on in Wyoming to get me home. When you land, ask Unicom to point you
to my hangar.

Give me the model number for the Arrow and I'll gin up a spreadsheet for
your W/B. You will have to do all the add/subtract from your logbooks for
the stuff that has been put on and taken off over the years.

And getting that 182 into the room is going to be a crystal bitch kitty.

Long story short: If you want to spend the night, CALL NOW. You can
always cancel later, (remember our 72-hour cancellation policy) but if
you're thinking about staying with us that night, it would be good to
make your reservation ASAP. (We've already got Jack Allison's new
Arrow -- well, and Jack, too -- and Jim Weir's straight-tailed 182
booked, so barring bad weather between the Left Coast and here, a good
time is guaranteed for all...!)

Yikes. It's our new "hangar suite"...

:-)

One problem, Jim. The suite that we have designated as the future
"Apollo Suite" has booked up for the summer. We've got so many
weddings, fly-ins, and other events going on that it just doesn't look
like we're going to be able to complete the suite transformation until
after the summer... (We need at least a week of "down" time in order
to get the carpet guys in, and for us to do all the painting, wall
paper, decorating, etc...)

In the meantime, all of your cool stuff is in safe-keeping, available
for examination by special request.

No problem. So long as that is the case, I'll bring the Apollo 15
commemorative coins with me this summer.

No problem Jim...we can move Atlas out of Jay's hanger then flip for it
to see who gets to put their plane in....though, the folks looking to
camp in Jay's hanger might opt for sleeping under your bird than mine. :-)
