We finally got back up to KIOW to retrieve our Cherokee yesterday.
We
were
getting ready to head out in the morning, but ended up waiting out a
band
of
showers that passed through in the morning down here, too. Beautiful
trip
up
& back (I flew one of my partners up in our club's 182). Once I
trimmed it
up, I hardly had to touch the yoke for an hour. Wonderful!

Hey Steven -- I was just going to ask if you needed us to fly your
Cherokee
back to SPI for you. I didn't realize you guys had already come and
gone.

Mary could have flown the Pathfinder, and I could have flown the 180...
It
would have been fun!

I hope your partner (and his wife) had fun with us -- even though the
plane
got stranded by the cruddy weather.

Heh, I may have taken you up on that, but Randy took the keys with him.
(unless you're willing to admit you know how to hot-wire an airplane...)
Thanks though.

I think he had fun. That was his first (& most likely not last) stranding
due to weather. He's getting ready to start on his IFR training. I'm about
3/4 way done.

I'll have to get up there & try the grass strip at Amana. I haven't used a
grass strip since my primary training 2 years ago. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll use a
club plane for that...
