Jim A Caravan is on my list if I ever strike it rich :-) An AN-2 would be another way to garner attention on the ramp, but at 45gph for 140 kts using 100LL, it is rather expensive to fly. Don't forget the 1 qph to 1 gph (depending on condition) of oil. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

oups.com... 6 kids? Wow... what are you flying now?! A cherokee Six-260 with the 7th seat. Youngest is still under 2, so riding on the lap still works for him for a few more weeks. Oldest is 17, so he's not always travelling with us these days. When Ray arrives at the Cherokee Pilots Association fly-in, it's gonna look like one of those clown-car routines! ;-) I've seen 5 people climb out of a Luscombe... -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |

Jay, it is that way no matter where we arrive. I've been known to bring
the whole brood, plus the dog (a fat yellow lab), and bags for a several day visit. Even with all that, I still have enough useful load to fill the tanks, and in the Six, that is almost 6 hours worth of fuel. Unfortunately, we'll most likely be going to visit my parents for Father's day weekend, along with all my sibling's families, so the CPA flyin isn't likely to be a destination this year, especially considering my older boys have final exams the week before and the week after that weekend. Dang. And I thought *our* kids went to school late in the summer. Yours are in class the third week of JUNE? I really, truly enjoy the Cherokee fly in. It is so informative, and so friendly. The guys that put it together are doing it because they love to do it, not so they can raise money -- and THAT makes a huge difference, IMHO. It's really become our favorite fly in of the summer. Oh, well. There's talk of moving it to another location for '08, so maybe they'll move the time, too? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Yeah, tell me about it. Third week of June is the last week of school. Barring any snow days, the 18th is the last day (most years we have a few snow days; this year so far has been too warm). I like Tan-Tar-A, and it seems like a good place to bring the family, although last time I was solo because of a conflict. Too bad on this year's timing. Maybe next year. I also think it is one of the best fly-ins. Maybe I'll make it out to OSH this year. |

But they'll be out by June 2nd, if we don't get any snow days. -- Jay Honeck Owner/Innkeeper Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Good job Jay. You always seem to find the cool ways to get stuff done....
I get bored quickly, but when I'm motivated I stick with things till they're done. It's amazing how much stuff can get done when you're focused. I think it's persistence, combined with ADHD. ;-) -- Jay Honeck Owner/Innkeeper Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
