The Mustang Suite is done!

Every now and then one of those suckers appears on Ebay...

There's a mailorder outfit called "sovietski" that sells them, plus a lot of
Russian pilot gear. They also have a table made from half a DC-9 horizontal stab.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Cool store, although I couldn't find anything like a DC-9 table...

Item number 150950 - "DC-9 'T' tail wing, reborn as an executive desk or table".
The catalog says they only have one left. The key code for the catalog is
SFKS1199Z, and the phone number is 800 442-0002.

Only $5,995.00 (and that's "20% off"). Plus shipping.

Hmmm. Well, let's see. I can either do the entire "Blackbird Suite," or I
can buy a really cool table...

Are you talking about the Mustang Ranch? I thought they, we are here
to help you group, closed them down?

I've got an "All Night Chit' (my wife gave me G) from the "Chicken
Ranch" near Austin that Marvin Zindler (Channel 2 TV) closed down
15-20 years ago G

You've probably seen the movie (parody) that Bert Reynolds and Dolly
Parton stared in (The Greatest Little Whorehouse in Texas)?

over.

I knew a guy once who did what you have done. His name
was Bill Whitsell, and the place he put together was Flying W Ranch in New
Jersey. It's still there, although not nearly what it used to be. It had
everything! Airplane shaped pool; horseback riding; a beautiful strip; a
great full service restraunt; and a hotel upstairs. I was instructing there
for a while for him. Bill was a retired Eastern Airlines pilot. I remember
Bob Cummings, the movie actor flew in one day in a D18 Beech and Bill got
him involved in the place in about five minutes. We took the Beech in trade
on an Aztec, and Cummings liked the place so much we thought he's never
leave! :-)

I've eaten there, when I was a kid, had a big family dinner there.
Probably was my father's idea, him being the ex Navy pilot. It had a
HUGE plate glass window overlooking the runway. While we were eating,
a staggerwing beech took off and rattled the entire room as it roared
by. Seemed like the restaurant was right close to the runway.

I also remember seeing the airplane shaped pool.

Yes, the Mustang Ranch is the reference. The little brass tags with the
appropriate girls' numbers on them (or reproductions) are for sale in a lot of
the Reno shops.

As I recall, the IRS boys shut the place down. Wasn't that part of the Conforte
empire?

By the way, care to guess the name of the VOR serving the Reno area?

You know, since making a trip up there last summer, I've been wondering
about that. I guess you've confirmed my suspicions.
