Evening Dave, We've got in-law family in Middleburg and use Keystone as our link-up field. Unfortunately I'm on a 150nm radius lockdown per COVIG (Army employer directive) and JAX is just a bit over that. Lessons learned; Don't forget the tax man! Just when you get all the finances in order...

Craig!! Super news. Hey, I probably have most of those parts you 'practically / gave away' during the Co FlyIn. Let me know if you need any of them. Probably take me a few days to 'find' them . . . :o Man! really glad to hear of your acquisition. Look forward to linking up again. Clear Skies, John

Kurt Welcome to the COG. First, get it out of the way, If you can draft up a basic signature block. At least include your location. We may be neighbors with an open invite to get some actual left seat time . . . Pre-Buy, necessary evil. This is my first shot at ownership and didn't really...

Cool capture!! Per the above story subject. Stationed in Korea many years ago and at the Osan AFB they used noise cannons to attempt to scare the birds away. Worked so so . . The U2 flew (maybe still does) out of there when I was stationed at a base further North. Anyway the story goes that...

Just a quick Poll to see the interest. I know the virus is playing havoc on everyone, in my case we're limited to 100 nm travel from our base without a waiver.(Military Commanding General order) If you feel like it, update the poll and we'll see what pans out. Poll will timeout on (20 Sep 20)...

Welcome Mike, My two sons are pilots, just don't get the opportunity to get in the air as much as I'd like with them. Sure it was a blast flying with yours. It only gets better owning a Commander. . .:cool: Clear Skies, John

Very Nice Moazzam, Watch you six, I'm right behind you. 952 in an AC11 as of this weekend. Got my 1,000th hr flying a mail run in a UH-1 Huey :cool: . . Still remember that day . . Wish you many more / safe flights.:D John

Enjoy Stephen, They grow up WAY to fast . . .

I for one feel much more at ease with that dull yellow mod installed back there!! :) Thanks Jim!!

Quick diversion - :o Working with Memphis CTR one Sunday morning just around the Tenn / Bama border I received a traffic advisory. "Commander, traffic 'no-factor' at 12 o'clock, 7 miles passing right to left - TWO B-52's" Not what you normally see on a day to day traffic call. Chalk Two...

One of my Army postings was Ft. Bliss (El Paso). When asked, most of us picked 'night flights' especially in the summer months. Starting out with a field elv of 4,000' and on those hot days the poor helo's were about at their limit. Recall one afternoon flying Nap of the Earth being at max power...

Welcome Dave, Think I'm the (self) designated signature block poc . . but it 'REALLY' helps if you draft a basic signature block with your location and airplane data in the discussions about our planes and projects. Best with your acquisition . . John

Welcome RCA, suggestion;) knockout a signature block with your location and plane s/n. Really helps with our posts. Clear Skies!! John

Or at least a set of fire detection strips / sensors. . . .

JPI 930 Fuel totalizer by itself does excellent - however - if there were a leak - it would never catch it. I had that very discussion with a hangar mate last night, My fear is a gasolater deciding to open in flight . .
