Quick, somebody shoot me now!
I told Mama I'd get the tree down when I get off work for the week. The teardown is almost as bad as setting it up....

Dayshift again and now that Christmas is over, all the Admins are back...... Glad I only have to put up with it for 3 days this week.

I'll relight the burners for some more coffee.

HEIDI > AAW- NOT LEAGALLY

Inspite of the fact that my cousin owning the airport and several planes
i never had the money to afford getting a license-

( that being said - if i hsd s flight log -charts & the pilot became disabled
i could stumble my way through IFR - if i was in unfimular area - or VFR
if i was somewhat fimular with area)

any more down in this area ( not sure about rest of country) there are so many no fly zones you almost nead IFR to keep from being kept company by a cupple F16`s

If you spend enough time flying with some one that is a licensed filight instructor ( they have a habit of explaning everything as they go ) and you are paying attention - and you ocasionly take the controles
you can pick up a great deal >

always wanted my license - was two buisy rasing my family s
and always neaded the money there to get it >

I worked for my cousin and his airport was right in behind his meat packing plant -soooooooo on our lunch hour we use to go up 3to 4 days a week .
was kind of a real bonus to working there -

+spent a lot of time just hanging around the airport in my spare time -made friends whih severl pilots that kept their planes there and flew with many of them .

some just one flight was enough kind of like bark was describing
kind of like driving -they might be licensed but have no busniss in the air or on the road !

beautiful day here -27 degrees little sunshine
claude

Any more flying is beginning to remind me of that add on TV where the guy asks the little girl if she wants to ride the bi-cycle and has a red box taped off on the floor - you can ride but not far or you pay a penalty -
homeland security & military have so many no fly boxes that ya better study them good before you decide where you are going to fly !

possibly here because of the distance to Canada - i would imagine AK is similar !

actually where i live it is`nt bad farmer first farm west of me has a grass runway -both N-S & E-W he and his son both have planes that they keep right on the farm in a hanger attached to his barn .

they fly a lot locally and regularly attend CAP fly-in breakfasts around the area .

Heidi, this isn't anything Mike would miss is it? Sounds perfect, how old and how much do you want for it? I'd love to see a picture.

Sounds good. Since you bought it used, I 'd be happy to reimburse you to have a pro examine it. I'd hate to have you invest alot of time and travel and I don't have time right now for another pet-project. Which is why I was shoppiing for a new one.
