Iowa City Fly In Breakfast This Sunday, 8/28

But for the love of GOD don't run a tank dry on the way in.

Well, you may do so, but we *will* make fun of you all morning...

Our annual SERTOMA Fly-In Breakfast will be held at the Iowa City
Airport (KIOW) this coming Sunday, 8/28. Breakfast will begin at 7 AM,
and usually serves till 1 PM or so.

Mary and I will be at our booth, handing out helium balloons to the
kids, brochures and coupons to the adults, and holding a couple of
drawings for free suites. It's always a fun day, and this year you'll
get to see a giant Chinook helicopter fly, as well as a Douglas C-47,
and a myriad of other planes.

If you're looking for a good excuse to fly this Sunday, and want to
benefit a good cause (SERTOMA stands for "SERvice TO MAnkind"), drop in
for some pancakes and hangar flying!

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?
