Flight Planning PYM to DEN

I am in the process of planning a flight from Plymouth, MA PYM to Front
Range Airport in CO, starting 12/21/2005 in an Arrow. (Yes Jay I am planning
to stop in Iowa City to see you.).

Reservations are always a good idea. (Don't worry -- we'll let you off
the hook if conditions fall below 1000' and 3 miles...! :-) Go he

Does anyone know of a long range planning weather source?

Sure, you've got ADDS, The Weather Channel, NWS, and our local TV
stations. Oh, wait, did you say you wanted *accuracy*? Sorry, no such
thing!

Bill, have you ever thought of going to Leadville CO

http://www.airnav.com/airport/KLXV

What kind of plane do you have....horsepower....prop?

What kind of climb rate and expected takeoff/landing distance do you
have at 9000 to 10,000' density altitude?

Do you have time in an RV-6A?

IIRC he's in an arrow. If I can make it to Leadville in the cherokee 180,
Bill can make it with either a mountain CFI (Jer, Mark, anyone around?)
or with you. Last time I went up was in May.

OK Guys and Gals......the airplane is an Arrow, non-turbo. Leadville is
out.........I am a flatlander and mountain flying is a requirement in my
book before a trip to Leadville, or Aspen or Vail or Steamboat. I am such a
fuddy dud I know...maybe I can get some time to get a mountain flying
lesson. I am doing my CFI now and who knows, one day I may relocate to CO
and do some mountain stuff.

Thank you all for the input it has been invaluable.

I may need to get a lesson. I will actually be staying very near Glenwood
Springs Airport.

Bill:

Glenwood Springs is a good 4-5 hour drive from Denver, weather and
roads permitting. If you're getting a rent car, make SURE it's
got an ice scraper & snow brush.

You may want to consider the train...I'll volunteer to pick up
up at FTG and drive you to the train station.

Jer/ here. Yes, I'm available for an Arrow trip into LXV... pending
winds and weather. I used to own a 1971 Arrow.
