Re: Random Fly-in Notes I'm not sure but I don't think so. I believe the plane that flipped was just coming in.... I don't recall swing him before and the other stardusters doing the side by side passes were still doing flybys after the orange one flipped.

Re: Random Fly-in Notes Sorry, Links didn't show up as pasted... trying again.

Re: Random Fly-in Notes Got to see Lonnie and Greg at Reklaw. Lonnie is is Rans and greg in the Commander. It was great to see another Commander show up.... Until Greg & Lonnie came over it was "other planes 500... Commanders 1" Great time even though the weather was less than ideal but...

Re: Random Fly-in Notes I have my tent right by the plane, of course, Lonnie. I haven't figured out how driving to a "fly-in" with a camper is more fun than flying in and camping. Love those grass strips.

Re: Random Fly-in Notes Great Lonnie, looking forward to seeing you and Greg there. I'm going back over in an hour or so to help finish up a few items that still need attending to.... I'll probably get the camp site set up as well today and come back home. (only a 20 minute flight) I too...

Re: Random Fly-in Notes Are there going to be any Commanders at Reklaw this year? Spent the day over there today helping Dave get some last minute projects finished... There were about 10 of us there today. They have the strip in GREAT shape and all the parking areas are mowed and ready...

Flew with my son to Elizabeth Louisiana this weekend to a fly-in at W.C. Field. W.C. Field is a private, 2500' grass strip in southern Louisiana owned by an A-36 / Gruman owner. Throws a great party each fall and the weather was perfect this year. Todd and his wife, Halley host the event...

Re: French Lick Insights From the time I bought 1297J, I always had a shimmy while taxiing at certain speeds and on roll out when the plane slowed down. I went for a year thinking I had a shimmy dampener problem, had it rebuilt, then had it rebuilt again for I finally figured out that the...

Re: New owner/Member Welcome, and congratulations Tim. Welcome to the Commander family.

Re: French Lick Insights Hey, hey Bill...Don't make me come over there.

Re: French Lick Insights Sorry to hear about your wing Lonnie.... I think the birds figured out your 100LL was great for cleaning greasy feathers and have been secretly using your leaking wing as a mineral spring bath... the one you hit just hadn't heard you fixed it yet. Made it home in 4...

Re: French Lick 2012 Fly-In Options I'll be at whatever bar everyone else is

Re: Bahamas 2013 Marcelo, Don't let "not being IFR" stop you from making the trips you want. From East Texas, I've made trips to California, the Southeast Coast on many occasions, and just recently got back from Oshkosh... All VFR. With very few short exceptions, I've never even been...

Re: French Lick 2012 Fly-In Options Lonnie and I will bring our horses and bandanas and pull our own authentic train robbery. I've been looking for a way to finance this gig.

Re: French Lick 2012 Fly-In Options Just signed up, planning on arriving Tuesday. I'll start drinking today so I'll have my tolerances built up in a month.... Don't want to let Lonnie drink me under the table. Since I'm coming in early, sign me up for the golf Radu. Havn't played in about...

Re: 2012 Tour of Williams Airmotive I've decided to move 1297J from the airport to the backyard to begin practice. It's 640' but I can takeoff downhill to gather enough speed to to simulate 1000' of takeoff roll.... Kind of like Doolittle in 1942.

Re: 2012 Tour of Williams Airmotive 1000'? At least most of the repairs can be made right there at the strip..... any hospitals close by?

Re: Service Kits Jim, I have some questions on the 390 conversion.... I tried calling but the number on your website wasn't working.?? I've got to start planning for my overhaul and I want to look at the 390 as an option. Only have about 5-600 hours left but will go through 300+ of those...

Re: South Central Fly-in What do you know... Thanks Glen. I've never even clicked on the "post reply" link.... always just the "quick post" at the bottom of the thread... Thanks
