He should be promoted to running FEMA or some other such organization where his talents can be more properly utilised. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN |

My membership initiation was in a C152.
A 152! Man, your significant other -- even using, er, alternate means -- musta been a contortionist! LOL, having now seen the inside of a 152, I can appreciate this comment :-) either that or she must of been very very petite, or had her legs sticking out the window.... or.... |

Hey Jay,
Did you happen to notice if the fall colors were starting up yet? I am planning on taking a friend of mine (who is recovering from lung cancer, he never smoked either) on a leaf peeping tour next monday 10/10. I'm based at KUGN and was planning on flying to DuBuque and then follow the river northward towards Prairie du Chein, stop for lunch/gas and then head back towards KUGN. Just checking since you were that way recently. Did you see an fall colors?

We've just been to the local riverboat's all-you-can-eat buffet, and Mary is flying as PIC with my 27-year old nephew in the right seat. Snipped for Brevity. |

Just checking since you were that way recently. Did you see an fall
colors? Not yet! There was just a hint of colors in the trees, but nothing really discernible yet. They will pop out pretty dramatically if we get the 30 degree weather they're predicting for tonight, though. It's a beautiful flight when they're in "full bloom"... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
