Today would be a great day to announce the date and place of this years fly in, don't you think? If we leave it any later, members schedules are going to fill up.

Re: Houston recommendations? Scott, Slidell is a nice little airport, cheapest fuel around. Denham Springs is a bit to the north of us but if you are going to be around for a bit we should try to catch up. That is about the time my plane is supposed to be ready at the paint shop though so I may...

Re: Houston recommendations? Depends, Houston is a big place. If you are flying out of IAH on the north side you might want to be at Hooks (DWH). If you are going out of Hobby towards the south side you might be able to get something close by at Ellington (EFD) though it won't be cheap. ('Tis a...

Re: Low Level Buzzing Gary, that's why I apologized in advance, knew I would pi** off someone.:D Seriously though, I have good friends in Texas who Jeep responsibly, off road in some great trails, rock paths and mud holes. I am not a fan of Jeeps on a beach although it is a common sight on...

Re: Low Level Buzzing

Re: Easa approved Ken, I would like to see the pics. I had a factory sytem that was removed but still has the guages and fill point. Was looking to see what had to be done to put it back together.

Re: Flying in Volcanic Ash? If I remember correctly, the British Airways Flight 9 stands as a record for the longest distance recorded for commercial aircraft not under power (as a glider). Regarding the original question, the particles carried in an ash cloud are particularly hard, sharp and...

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location Nuthin' wrong with food cooked in dirt and served by a backhoe!:eek:

Re: 2010 cog fly-in location Jim, I have always wanted to go to Gastons and was thinking of a weekend trip this year. Not Regina's cup of tea though. For her, "roughing it" is no room service because you are at a Holiday Inn.

Re: COG Webinar Series! Missed the first 20 minutes but enjoyed what I heard at the end.

Re: COG Webinar Series! I was not able to join in. I received a message from DimDim that they had maximum participants in the meeting.

Re: signature map of states you have flown to

Re: signature map of states you have flown to Also reminds me of a true soldiers story. After WW II, Lord Mountbatten was reviewing the troops. He was resplendant in full dress uniform with a dashing sash and three and a half rows of medals and ribbons. As he walked along the reviewing line...

Re: signature map of states you have flown to Sid, you also need Alaska. Hawaii too but I don't see anyone with that state colored in. Now what you really need to add to embarass all of us wannabees is the Central and South American maps. I think you have most of these in the Commander, no?

Re: Headwinds Ken, Took a trip to Ft Lauderdale a couple of weeks ago. 200 knots going. 10 day camel ride coming home. Going low earned me 10 knots more ground speed but with heavy turbulance it was hardly worth it. Had to strap in tight to stop from banging my head off the roof. Just saw...

Re: New Orleans area?

Re: New Orleans area? Joel, Coming back from Alaska I did the trip from Santa Fe to New Orleans leg in an easy day including a 3 hour stop in Texas to get bar-b-que at the Hard 8. Leave early and you should have no problem with your Super Commander. Likely have a nice tailwind if you stay...

Re: New Orleans area? Joel, I believe I can get you a 1st class hotel downtown for waaayyyy less than $800. Probabably in the mid $200 range for a really good hotel. I'll set you up and let you know.

Re: New Orleans area? Joel, Flightlinefirst might arrange to get you to the hotel with thier courtesy car no matter when you arrive. I will ask them. The Comfort Suites hotel is not readily adjacent to where you want to be so you might want to have a rental car. This adds to your cost and...

Re: New Orleans area? May is my favorite time of year in New Orleans. Usually dry and clear skys with temps in the low 80's. Unless of course its raining:) It usually only rains a couple of days during the month. Usually on the first or second weekend of Jazzfest so that the field is sloppy...
