Two weeks left until Hill Top. Anyone planning to attend? I'm really hoping 
for a good turn out, since it's easy driving distance for me.

Well If anyone is out there and wants their helicopter pictured in the 
Experimental Helo magazine, bring your ship.  We will be there.
This is one of the best fly-ins of the year.  For helicopters, it beats 
Oshkosh by a bunch.

It's a lot closer than Hillsboro Ohio and Oshkosh.
We will leave early Tues a.m, stop in NM to visit and be there NLT Thursday 
a.m without breaking a sweat.  600miles to a tank in the VW Jetta TDI.
Kevin if you are waiting for someone to start a good event close to San 
Diego, you probably have the choice of forgetting it or doing it yourself. 
If you choose to do it yourself, let us know.  San Diego is about as far as 
Oklahoma for us when you consider the idiots driving on the freeways down 
there.  Or should I call them fast parking lots?  Actually, I have trailered 
my helicopter well over 100,000 miles but hesitate to trailer it down in the 
L.A basin.
 Once coming back from an extensive trip looking at experimental aircraft, 
and after driving all over the U.S we entered hiway 395 up near Bishop and 
for the first time in my life I was on the CB radio trying to raise a
CHP.  The LA drivers headed south on 395 on a Sunday were berserk.  In less 
than 10 miles we had to twice  make three lanes out of two because of some 
nut in a big motor home trying to do 90mph, passing everything in sight.
We live within 1 mile of 395 and mostly avoid it on the week-ends.  No, I 
don't have any trouble driving to Oklahoma for this fly-in, but I dread 
having to drive down 15 very far.

It was a good fly-in the weather was about perfect.  Some 17/18 ships were 
in attendance and Spurling showed his C-18 powered Rotorway Exec.  Good 
show.  Missing from the show was Frank Sweet who is reportedly battling 
cancer.  Hope he makes it.

It was indeed. It was nice meeting you, Kathryn and Spook.
