Duluth - Blue Angles this weekend

I took my kids to the Duluth air show several times when we lived up there.
One year the Concord did what they called a "turn and burn," which was a low
pass and go around. The noise of the Concord when they poured on the coal
scared the Bee Jeepers out of my kids who were all under ten at the time.

Blue Angles are scheduled to be there.

Hopefully we'll get up there on Sunday morning. Weather looks iffy.

I'm glad I got talked into a Six when I bought mine. I had been looking at
various 4 place models. I have 4 kids now, and a 5th on the way. The Six is a
minivan on wings. I can still load all the kids, the wife, the dog, bags for 3
days or so and still fill the tanks. It is getting pretty close to max now that
they are growing (oldest is 13 and is almost as big as me). Unfortunatly, the
next step would be a Caravan, which is out of my price range.

Just don't have too many, or you'll need a bigger plane! :-)

Yeah, we tried to find a good Six when we were looking to replace our
Warrior, and couldn't find one.

So, we settled on our pristine Cherokee 235 Pathfinder, which is just an
awesome plane. We've got darn near the same useful load (1460 pounds) as a
Six -- we just can't have any more kids!

Don't you hate it when spell checker says "yep, ok by me" but the manual
context checker failed? Yep, that stuff happens a lot at 3:00 am.

I think you should go for the Chewbacca defense anyway...

...blue angles are very fast angles.

....that produce a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1:1...very cool.
Favorite maneuver...dirty roll on takeoff.

Somebody really needs to come up with a workable trailer for airplanes. One
that doesn't need its own pilot.

Funny you should mention that. I was reading a book about DC prop
airliners over the weekend and found a reference to someone that did
something similar (except they needed the extra pilot). Apparently,
a cargo outfit purchased a couple of surplus C-47s (DC-3s) and a few
WACO CG-4A gliders. They actually received approval from the FAA to
tow the cargo-laden gliders behind the C-47s on cargo flights, just
like they did in the Normandy invasion.

With #5 on the way, I am up against the same limit except I don't have any
option for something bigger (a Cessna Caravan is just a tad out of reach
financially). Already have the 7th seat installed in the Six, and that will be
filled come February.
