It is CAVU here in Indiana today... how about Mississippi?


Wife and I flew a Cub from Kokomo to Noblesville yesterday with a
stiff South wind. Made 37 knots ground speed down, 92 back. Woulda
been faster to drive, but not nearly as fun.

You live in Kokomo? In the '70's I flew KC135's out of Grissom AFB. We
lived in Cassville, about halfway between Kokomo and Grissom.

My dad worked on the Pennsylvania/Penn Central, freight trains, his
standard route was between Columbus, OH and Logansport. Used to ride
with him on his trips. I still have early memories of sitting on a bar,
six years old, in Bunker Hill. When I was stationed at Grissom the same
bar became my major hangout.

Ah, memories... :)

My wife's parents will be coming to visit after xmas. I'm hoping the
weather cooperates and I can take my father-in-law for a spin in the Cub
or Champ. He'll get a kick out of overflying Grissom if they have the
tankers out on the ramp.

Cool. Have fun. I didn't realize there were still 135's there. When I
left the National Guard was flying A-37's and they were talking about
shutting down the base. But, I've been out of the loop for the last 30
years or so. :)
