Re: This week at Cape Girardeau? Hey Scott golden opportunity while you're having all, the very unfortunate and I feel for you there, damage repaired why not get the damaged paint color also fixed!

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location Radu are you suggesting you will be buying beers at 09J Wed night if so you'll get lots of company!

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location Ken's gathering is optimum for people arriving from the W or NW and hence was planned for Wed with tour, BBQ, an overnight stay and discount fuel and then on to 09J Thu morn. For earlier arrivals its tough to do a Tuesday because the numbers would not justify a...

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location Head count needed - Ken Andrew has graciously agreed to host a pre-Fly-in gathering at his home base, Albany GA. Wed Sept 22. He plans to have their pursuade his tourist board to help host a BBQ for Commanders who fly in. He will also have discount hotels and...

Re: Roush Wreck Judge you seem to be judging photos for the wrong clue! The Premier II that JR's flying (winglets + newer Williams FJ44 - 3000lb SL Thrust engine ) is like the Premier I - they have 2 segment trailing edge Fowler flaps to provide the high CL needed for reasonable stall speed...

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location There some off course flight here: The Red Bug people have agreed to ALSO rent us regular cars for a discount rate - let them know its for the Commander group and that the Red Bug company owner has sanctioned that. Note folks the Red Bugs are street leagal but...

Re: Roush Wreck Yes thanks - I am on such matters as Instrument Panel color! Flying Priemier is a lot easier than a Part 25 airplane because they're far more complex in systems - especially a heavy like a 747!

Re: Roush Wreck The Premier is a single pilot certified airplane - flying it is lower workload than flying a twin like a Baron because the 2 engines are single lever power - no mixture & prop levers. The Power to Wt ratio is so much better than a Baron or other twin there's a lot of performance...

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location Rob where are you arriving? ATL - Atlanta or some other major airport? If Atlanta instead of a laddie (Ian C) a Midlander Ken Andrew is offering a pickup from a general aviation field near Atlanta that's a subway ride away PDK Peachtree-Dekalb from Epps Aviation -...

Re: Roush Wreck Jack Rousch is a very experienced pilot he flies the Premier 300+ hrs per year travelling to the races where his teams are competing. So its not that he needs the skill but perhaps made a wrong snap decision.

Re: WWII Memorial Visit John I'd love to do just that but am on the wrong sid of the ocean to visit the airfirlds of East Anglia, Dover or N France (am a WWII history especially airplane design buff). Hope there's lots of interest and the trip happens

Re: Google Earth Commander Marvelous story Craig! Congratulations to you and the new bride. Hey the Global express brakes you're checking in Rosewell - terretrial or Alien Global Express?? Sorry about teh ByPass! Please come to the Sept Flyin - see special thread on that

Re: COG Fly In John I agree (without taking any pot shots at the west Commanders) a great way to bat around locations is to do mini meets and flyins all over teh West and that will crystallize thinking about a set of locations. Perhaps a gathering in Rosewell NM would work because Gay M, Scott...

Re: COG Fly In Carol I too have to pitch in that I acknowledge your keen interests in a W fly-in but it was the SE's turn in the rotate it around. While not a COG Board member I know they consider the location factors carefully. Here's hoping you rope in a few W coast members and Suzie is a...

Re: COG Fly In Merci and we look mforward to meeting you and your compatriots hope there are may attendees from Europe. We will deliver a useful and enjoyable Commander discussion and seminar program.

Re: PIE recommendations Wow Bill this is great please pas on my congrats to your mother in advance for teh adventure. My mom whose a little older often flies the Commander to the MID WEST all I use is a simple stool to get her on to the wing. There are many hotels near PIE - sorry I know...

Re: COG Fly In The Fly-In is definitely Jekyll Island Sept 24 - 26, with most arrivals expected on Thu 23rd BUT earlier arrivals will be welcomed too. We have a good program lined up, the location is a quaint hotel walking distance from the plane parking. We (Byrne) is still squeezing the...

Re: NE visit - Conn, Nantucket Is., Maine, & NH Nice try Dana but your slight against Alaskans won't work especially since many a Commander has taken part in 2 or more group fly-ins to Alaska! There are several islands and airports in Alaska that have 176 E to even 179E longitudes making them...
