Quad City Airshow & Golden Wings Museum Pix & Video
Last month Jim Burns and I flew our families up to Anoka-Blaine
Airport, near Minneapolis, to visit Montblack and to take in the sights at the Golden Wings Museum. Montblack arranged for a private tour of the museum -- which houses some fantastic aircraft from the "Golden Age" of flight -- and we all had an outstanding time. See: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2006_flight_to_anoka.htm for some pix. Then, last weekend we flew to Davenport, Iowa, to attend the annual Quad City Airshow. This airshow has grown into a world-class affair, with the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds alternating years, and a plethora of other outstanding airshow acts in between. See: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2006_quad_city_airshow.htm for pictures of the show, and some pretty decent video of the Blue Angels.

Hmmm, maybe I need to start being nice(er) to Paul :-) Hey, just kidding there, Mr. provider of camping gear to the useful load challenged :-) Um...you did get my list via e-mail, right? Nice pix. BTW Jay.

the museum -- which houses some fantastic aircraft from the "Golden Age" of flight -- and we all had an outstanding time. And all I get are threats of "the lumpy pillow". Hmmm, maybe I need to start being nice(er) to Paul Weird thing is, I *tried* to buy him a Snickers bar -- and he turned me down, instead favoring the left-over wilted lettuce salad that he had out in his 105-degree car! So, see, being nice doesn't always help... ;-) The tour was really cool. To be able to actually GET INSIDE some of these classic aircraft was truly a unique opportunity. I mean, it's one thing to see Molt Taylor's flying car in a museum -- it's another thing entirely to sit inside it. To be able to put your hand on the wheel, and see how the flight controls interlinked with the driving controls was awfully exciting. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Hey, if you guys need anything, or want me to pick anything up that Paul
doesn't have room for, let me know. I'd be happy to run it over to OSH Sat or Sun. Jim "Montblack" wrote in message ... ("Jack Allison" wrote) Um...you did get my list via e-mail, right? Everything (and then some g) on the list is a go! I'll be in touch this week... Montblack |

Speaking of Golden Age aircraft, has anyone seen the birds at the museum at Creve Coeur (1h0) in St. Louis? Three hangers packed with old birds, some that Lindbergh flew, most all airworthy and flown yearly. Lots of very cool planes in the other hangars also... Great stop if you are in the area! |

Yeah, when Paul has gas...well, let's just say that we use the word "aftershock" out here in earthquake land...you...um get my (or rather Paul's) drift. Maybe he's starting early testing beer/brat combinations...as part of the official PMC 2.0 field trials. Sorry...couldn't help it...first Jay, then Mr. "Smith", and, well, you know, it was just a natural progression. Why yes Paul, that lumpy pillow is sounding just fine right about now :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-Instrument Airplane Arrow N2104T "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

Ah...good to know that should we exceed the useful load of the airplane of minivans, that we have a backup. Then again, it figures, coming from an Aztec driver. :-) You mean, you need an excuse to run over to OSH Sat/Sun? The fact that the Honeck, Allison, and whoever else wants to fly from IOW are showing up isn't enough? :-) Seriously though, will do letting you know.
