Have you ever *been* to a Starbucks? Rock bottom prices does not describe it. Oh, I guess you meant the prices that *Starbucks* pays.... -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon |

What is the environmental premise for shutting the airport down? Noise is #1, even with the stage two ban and most current planes are darn quiet they seem to want everything that was not here 100 years ago banished, well except their 10,000 sq ft houses and hummers.. those seem to be ok...

I hope to see you at OSH this year, on my own, or with a friend who has
never been, but wants to. I may spend some time down in Vintage Land. Cool! When's the last time you were there -- 2005-ish? Wasn't that the year of the transmission? :-) You guys should stop by the inn for the pool party on you way to OSH. If you want, you can camp out back for nuthin', and partake in the food and festivities! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" "Morgans" wrote in message ... "Jay Honeck" wrote Sadly (but, as expected) he's rarely flown since Oshkosh. Being a freshman in college, and away from home, he's way busy, all the time. I fly with him every few months just so he can stay current, but I don't expect he'll have any real time (or money) to devote to flying for a few more years. Unless he pursues flying as a vocation, I doubt he'll get the IR any time soon, if ever. There is hope. My case in point. My son got up to solo, when the plane broke, instructors moved on, and college started. He had to quit, to pursue life. 6 years later, college is done, has a decent job and wife, and he has started back, hopefully with the finances and desire to see it through. I think he will, as anything he has decided to take on, he has done so. Glad to hear things with the airport are not going too badly. The loss of the hangar is a pity, as is the runway, but in these times, open (mostly) is good! I hope to see you at OSH this year, on my own, or with a friend who has never been, but wants to. I may spend some time down in Vintage Land. -- Jim in NC |

I can't believe the city didn't seize the airport over imminent domain
considering it looked to be the only place in Iowa City that wasn't under water last summer! God almighty, don't suggest THAT out loud! It's too close to the truth... ;-) (Of course, the city already OWNS the airport, so they don't really have to "seize" it....) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Sure we do. It's just a lot more fun to be where the children aren't allowed. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Please tell me they took federal money for the at least some of the
refurbishment. Hell, yes! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

" Cool! When's the last time you were there -- 2005-ish? Wasn't that the year of the transmission? That 'twas an expensive and not very enjoyable year. (yeck) I have been there once since the transmission. '07, perhaps? I didn't make it last year, 'cause my kid got married last year, on the first weekend of August; the one that got back into flying. He was the reason that I went the first time, by the way. I got involved in Aviation Exploring, after he joined. You guys should stop by the inn for the pool party on you way to OSH. If you want, you can camp out back for nuthin', and partake in the food and festivities! And we call our kids geographically challenged? Have you looked at a big map? Iowa is "not quite" on the way to OSH from North Carolina, last I looked! g It is already a thousand miles by road, from here to there. I don't think my back would appreciate the extra detour, but thanks for the invite! So, without your son flying the 'coup, you and Mary been putting some hours on it? How about Atlas? Been putting enough exercise on him, or saving money and flying the big guy barely enough? -- Jim in NC |

" Cool! When's the last time you were there -- 2005-ish? Wasn't that the year of the transmission? That 'twas an expensive and not very enjoyable year. (yeck) A small follow-up, for those who never heard this tale. I used my 3/4 ton 87 Chevy Van to haul about a ton of Aviation Explorer camping gear and a large tow behind grill to OSH from NC, and on the way, the tranny started slipping. I changed the oil and filter, and thought it was going to be good to go. I took it for a short errand about two days before I had to leave, and it started slipping like mad, again, and it was obvious that I would not make it home without a new tranny. I had to get back for the first days of school (teaching) or risk many employment hassles, and had to have a transmission overnighted to a nearby shop, but they could not install it in time, so I had to do it myself in the campground. Through the fine folks at emergency aircraft repair, and the EAA motor pool shop, I was able to get a tranny lift to reinstall it. Still, there was a lot of jacking and blocking to do the job in a field, but it was done, and I got home, but many dollars lighter. To say the transmission shop saw me coming and knew what a bind I was in, would be an understatement. Also needless to say was that I did not get to see much at OSH that year. What does not kill us makes us stronger, they say. I got a workout, that year! g -- Jim in NC |
