Larry, Tim is selling an airplane.


You'se guys should get together.

We've already met.

Now all I need is to find someone in the club who lives near Tim and N704LF who can drop by for a look.

If there is anyone in the area who can please PM me.

Thanks

GP Bill lives in Oregon. He can do that for you, but he won't admit that he was there, and the trip won't be recorded in his logbook.

Pictures would come in a plain brown wrapper with no return address!

Hillsboro is about a two hour flight. Presently we are dealing with the persistent fog that comes with our winters here. And we have a weather pattern moving in Friday supposedly bringing rain and snow with it. But many times the weatherman lies. If we can get the air stirred up a little and the rain does not occur..................

Jeff Davis is a about the same distance. But he has the Columbia River Gorge as an obstacle if there is weather.

Let's see what happens. I think possibly both Bill Warner and we are itching for a lil cross country!!

If you can make it Bill I would be most grateful.

Of course if everything comes together the purchase of an airplane in Oregon presents a wonderful challenge for me since I will most likely be keeping it in SW Florida.

But first I would have to head up to Bainbridge Island, Washington to show it off to friends who live up there. Husband and wife are both pilots and the 150 is the husband's idea of a dream plane. Of course he is a power plant engineer and therefore has a reputation for being a bit skewed in his thinking.

Then it would be a long cross country to Florida as and when weather permits. A late winter/early spring time frame suggests the southern route. I've not seen much of California so a tour down the coast might be nice. Then hop over toward El Paso, across Texas, the Gulf Coast and on to Naples, Florida. The last time I did such a trip it was up high in a turbo Mooney so getting over the big rocks wasn't as much of an issue. This time it would be quite different. I would like to fly Monument Valley again though. Never mind, there will be time for that later.

Talk about counting chickens before they're hatched.

Now that someone brought up the subject of a long cross country for yours truly then one of those new 696s would be nice for keeping track of where I am. I heard that one of the presidential candidates who has already declared for 2012 is promising a free 696 in exchange for support. Anybody know how to contact this guy?

Larry!!!







...shut up.

Perhaps one could trade a 696 for a Senate seat from Illinois or New York; or Secretary of Treasury.

Tim, if the weather cooperates at all, what about meeting in Independence? We really like that lil cafe there...........

If the weather cooperates, I'd be game to bring it down to Independece. I'm off Monday and Tuesday next week.
