It is CAVU here in Indiana today... how about Mississippi?


Wife and I flew a Cub from Kokomo to Noblesville yesterday with a
stiff South wind. Made 37 knots ground speed down, 92 back. Woulda
been faster to drive, but not nearly as fun.

You live in Kokomo? In the '70's I flew KC135's out of Grissom AFB. We
lived in Cassville, about halfway between Kokomo and Grissom.

My dad worked on the Pennsylvania/Penn Central, freight trains, his
standard route was between Columbus, OH and Logansport. Used to ride
with him on his trips. I still have early memories of sitting on a bar,
six years old, in Bunker Hill. When I was stationed at Grissom the same
bar became my major hangout.

Ah, memories... :)

My wife's parents will be coming to visit after xmas. I'm hoping the
weather cooperates and I can take my father-in-law for a spin in the Cub
or Champ. He'll get a kick out of overflying Grissom if they have the
tankers out on the ramp.

Scott,

Are you based @ OKK? I am up there all the time in the Mooney. Yea,
yesterday was a little windy but today seems even more so... I might
take a stroll out to the airport (UMP) after the football game and bore
some holes..

8I3, a little private grass strip just southwest of OKK. I've been
using OKK a lot lately to get crosswind proficient in tailwheel planes.

Bee-utiful in the Upper Midwest today. We flew to Janesville,
Wisconsin, to have lunch with Jim Burns, and hit 207 mph on the way up
-- and just 126 mph on the way back!

Windier than hell at altitude, but smooth as a baby's bottom above a
(relatively) low haze layer. It was a great day to fly!

(And NOW it's time for a coupla beers... ;-)

If an aircraft is taxiing out from the ramp and controllers notice

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL.

This question is easily researchable and doesn't require real pilots
experiences.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely researchable. All you have to do is remember the fighter pilot's
golden rule on drinking and flying.
"NEVER drink and fly!!! Pull off the taxiway as you're on the way out to the
runway and drink, THEN go fly!!!"

And, when I was flying KC135's, we rigidly adhered to the rule: "No
smoking 8 hours before flying, and no drinking closer than 80 feet from
the aircraft."

That rule made us better at the job we did. I think.

Hi Walt;

It's indeed a fairly little known fact outside the military aviation
community that we who flew the "smaller" though somewhat "faster" bits of
Plexiglas and aluminum learned all our REAL bad habits from you multi guys!!

Walt, are you SURE you never flew helicopter gunships in Vietnam??? Sounds
like one of our old rules. :-)))))
