Default What's your next...?

If I know when you're going to be here, I'll find some sort of lame
excuse (like I need one!) to zip over there and say howdy.


Thanks, Michael! We'll try to take you up on that.

The plan (at this distant point) is to depart for Texas next Sunday.
Unfortunately we work till noon, so the odds are we won't be off the
ground till nearly 1 PM. Since we'll need to make one fuel stop (it
flight plans at 5:42 hours, assuming 135 knots), I suspect we'll only
make it to Oklahoma City or the Dallas area before stopping for the
night.

Or, we could get an early jump, have a great tail-wind, take advantage
of the extra hour of daylight (thank you, Congress!), and get there by
sundown. Dunno yet, and we won't know until we do it. Either way, we
SHOULD be in Fredericksburg by Monday, late morning.

Now, of course, being March, we could be sitting here under a 3-day
ice storm by Sunday. Or, Texas could be getting his with persistent T-
storms. In which case, we'll head...East. Or West. We don't really
care -- we just want to fly!

Really, once I'm in the cockpit, I'm already where I want to be...

:-)

I count no less than 7 airports around Fredericksburg. Is T82 the
best for us to use?
