A new first

According to Slick, this isn't sex, so I guess it doesn't qualify for
the miile high club really... Hehe.

My membership initiation was in a C152. Orally speaking only, of

Glad you didn't end up like these fellows:

It's not that we haven't talked about it. However, after serious
consideration of all the mechanics required, we decided that a Cherokee 6
would be the minimum required aircraft for the deed.

On the bright side, we could then use it for "Mile High" stays at the inn!

So we're climbing out of Prairie du Chein, WI (KPDC) on a beautiful early
fall afternoon. 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.

I'm in the back seat with my brother-in-law, and we've just reclined our
seats to a more comfortable F-16 attitude (so I'm not whacking my
Lightspeeds on the ceiling).

The full-stretch legroom, the steady rumble of Atlas' 6 cylinders, the
gentle rocking motion caused by my nephew over-controlling the airplane, the
warm sunshine, full tummy, dry pants....

So those Depends really work as advertised, eh? :-)

Whacking your Lightspeeds on the ceiling ...............oh well each to
their own I suppose.

....Zzzzzzz....

Next thing I know, we're entering the pattern at Iowa City. Almost an hour
has gone by, and I've enjoyed a deep, happy nap -- in the back seat of my
own plane. First time in over 1500 hours of flying -- who'd a thunk it?


What she didn't tell you is that she was also sound asleep for the
first thirty minutes. Good food, a nice sound, etc. It works that
way.

I've got the tee shirt also.


Never thought I'd see the day. Mary laughed and said "So I guess this means
you're finally comfortable with my flying?"


You're a lucky man! Thanks for sharing.

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?

Snipped for Brevity.

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"...

I had to drive from central PA ro Warren OH yesterday. There was
color in the higher elevations in PA but peak color is about a week
away.

Things are changing rapidly here. We went from near 90 on Wednesday, to 30
this morning, with high winds. The leaves have changed color seemingly
overnight, and are being ripped off by the wind.

Hopefully the weather will stabilize by the weekend, or there may not be any
fall colors to see this year.
