Off to the Alexis Park Inn tomorrow
Tomorrow (Friday) my two oldest boys, father, and I will be departing for a
vacation to Denver, flying across the US from NY State in the Bonanza. Having been thoroughly manipulated G by all of Jay H's propaganda in this newsgroup over the last four years, I decided enough was enough and planned a layover tomorrow night in Iowa City, Iowa, to perhaps meet the man behind the posts and the Inn. I'll post a pirep of our stay after I return from the trip, sometime into the second week of July. -- Peter |

Welcome to a growing tradition. You will not be disappointed. Jim, Jack, and Edwin, thanks. However, GA just let me down: While taxiing to the runway from my home airport today to start the trip, my HSI would not lock on to the magnetic heading. The HSI continued to spin around and around. We have an avionics shop on the field, so I taxied back over to the shop to have the tech look over the system. One hour later, the verdict was in: Apparently my S-Tech HSI gyro failed and needs to be replaced. End of trip before it even started. What a let-down. -- Peter |

Can you reschedule your vacation and head to OSH? or had you also planned on
doing OSH? Jim "Peter R." wrote in message ... Edwin Johnson wrote: Welcome to a growing tradition. You will not be disappointed. Jim, Jack, and Edwin, thanks.
