Iowa City Fly In Breakfast This Sunday, 8/28

Dang Jay, I was just at KIOW a month ago. Sorry man, one trip/year is
about the limit for this left coaster :-) What a way to build time
though...I'm knocking on the door of 100 hrs. in the Arrow.

Whoa -- a 100 hours? In how many months?

You da man! And here I was feeling pretty good about flying 55 hours since
May!

insert sound of logbook pages flipping ok, since 4/2, 91.5 hours, all
in the Arrow. 1/3 of that was to/from OSH. Add another 19.9 in the
Archer since the first of the year and I'm at 111.4 for the year.
That's what instrument lessons and buying your first plane can do to the
logbook (not to mention the pocketbook...but we ignore that one).

Ok, Jack, we'll have to organize a mutual support group for "ignoring the
pocketbook" for the sake of flying. Something like women do for the sake of
"shopping". We've had the Aztec just over a year now, and I too have put on
over 100 hours... great for the log book but the pocket book is sucking
wind. One thing about winter in Wisconsin, when you can't fly, you're
building funds for when you can fly. Hmm... The only time a pilot shouldn't
be flying is when he's preparing to fly. Sounds good to me.

I've always found the very best flying was during those crystal-clear days
between big snow storms. You know, when a big ol' Canadian high pressure
kinda slumps down over the upper Midwest, the temperatures plummet, and the
air is as thick as honey.

By God, it's lovely. Billion-mile visibility, 1500 fpm climb rates, and
smooth air at every altitude. Nothing like the
"flying-inside-a-ping-pong-ball" crap we have here from June through August.

Just don't forget to wear gloves. And it helps to have the famous Cherokee
heater, too.

Although yesterday was marvelous. Nice and cool (low 70s), low humidity,
and great visibility. After airing up the tires, and without the kids in
the back seat (they're back in school again), holy crap! I was off in
about 500 feet, and climbing (what felt like) straight up. A pleasant
change after the last three months of 90 degree-plus weather!

tsk tsk tsk....

And you don't "shop" for airplane stuff?

And women don't have airplanes?

I glad I met you at the RAP party last month Blanche.
Now I understand your sense of humor! :-))

My biggest fear about teaching my wife to fly and her getting her
certificate is that she would FLY to buy SHOES!
Talk about a speedy way to poverty.... Mary must not have a shoe "thing" or
you'd be broke Jay!

Oh Lord Jim,
Don't give my wife any ideas ! She is a shoe nut, it would be the only
way to get her interested in my little airplane projects! But then I'd
for sure not have a dime for the airplanes, but another closet full of
shoes!

One of my greatest blessings (and Mary's biggest curse, if you ask her) is
that she has wide feet (like, EEE), and thus cannot buy shoes "off the
rack."

I think this one physical attribute, so innocently unappreciated during our
dating years, has saved me more money than any other "investment" in my
adult life!Perhaps rather than paying attention to legs, breasts, and
waistlines, single guys should be looking for chicks with wide feet...

Hmmm, so, instead of the $100 hamburger run, she'd do the $200 shoe run
($100 for shoes, $100 for airplane time). Then again, depending on the
price of a) shoes and b) time in the Aztec, we could be talking about a
lot more money Jim. Yep, speedy way to poverty for you.

Now...as an alternative, you could look into fly-in Wal-Mart locations.
Shoes are cheap and you can load up on a lot more things. If you flew
from my home field, you'd be able to fly to Willows, CA where you could
first stop at Nancy's airport cafe. Great airport greasy spoon spot
(sorry Jay, I don't think they know what fruit is at Nancy's). After
eating, walk across the street to Wal-Mart and shop. Don't ask me how I
know this... :-)
