He said it was cool but after a half hour it was time to get out.



That's about the time they entered the German side of the Channel. g

Hey, you're in luck. Rides go about 30 minutes, according to the website.

Q: How long does the flight experience last?
A: Each flight experience lasts approximately 35 minutes, of those 20 - 22
minutes will be in the air.

I've just now got the inside dope - the skinny:

Aluminum Overcast will fly from Denver, back to OSH, for a 10 day rest.
She'll then do the Wis,
Minn, Iowa legs, right before AirVenture.

Our EAA Chapter has been "invited" to OSH for help with maintenance & upkeep
of the B-17. We're lining up volunteers for the work party.

June 18: She departs Denver, for OSH
June 29: She makes a short hop to Waukesha, Wis., from OSH

July 6-8: She'll be at ANE
(North End of the field @ AWAM - by the Tower)

Prolly play golf, too...

Yep I do but not nearly as much as before. I got my handicap down to 5
in the mid 90's but then realized what's the point of this? So I golf
occasionally now. This weekend we're taking the 5th wheel and the boat
to Helena. There's a time and place for everything.


I know, I'm just giving you sh*t.

I used to golf three times a week. Then I learned how to fly, and
golf became...just golf.

Haven't touched a club since my first flight lesson.

Flying is cool but so are other things. I would love to take a sailboat
into the South Pacific for a year or two and see a lot of the WWII islands.

I can fit three frull bags in the luggage compartment.

Flew/golfed from Colonial in Texas, to Banff in Alberta.

And,remember, "Only God can hit a one-iron" -- Lee Trevino, but, boy-oh-boy,
can I hit a two-iron!

I get sea-sick watching old "McHale's Navy" reruns.
