Great write up George. I went today, friday, for about two hours. I live
just outside Philly so it was only a twenty minute train ride (I rode that
train for almost twenty years when I worked in Philly). I bought a case of
Elite 20/50 for $42.00 delivered. They even threw in a free funnal
attachment. The FBO charges about 6.25/quart. Since I own a citabria, I
was hoping ACA would be there but they weren't. I did pick up a pop open
sun shield from Rosen for $10.00. I'm hoping it will work for the
greenhouse on the citabria.
Did anyone get to the aircraft exhibits at PHL?

ACA was at the airport with a 7GCBC.

I arrived at the Expo at Noon on Thursday after a 2+20 flight from
Columbus OH (KOSU) to West Chester (N99). 340 nm with 30-35 kt
tailwind. Excellent!!!
I attended seminars each afternoon and did the exhibit hall in the
half-hour between seminars.
Friday morning, after the General Session, I took the shuttle to the
airport to see the aircraft. I saw what I went to see... the glass
panel 182 and was given a demo on operation of the Garmin 1000's.
VERY simple operation! The only negative I noticed and asked about was
if they were going to add a "shelf" to rest your hand on so you can
press the button you intend to while bouncing around in turbulence? I
was told they had not considered it, and I was given no indication that
were concerned about it. If the picture I took turns out, I will post
it.
