Off to the Alexis Park Inn tomorrow

Tomorrow (Friday) my two oldest boys, father, and I will be departing for a
vacation to Denver, flying across the US from NY State in the Bonanza.

Having been thoroughly manipulated G by all of Jay H's propaganda in this
newsgroup over the last four years, I decided enough was enough and planned
a layover tomorrow night in Iowa City, Iowa, to perhaps meet the man behind
the posts and the Inn.

I'll post a pirep of our stay after I return from the trip, sometime into
the second week of July.

Yeah, me too. Happened last year and now it's a regular pre-OSH stop.
Jay's marketing plan just keeps sucking us all in :-)

Jim, Jack, and Edwin, thanks. However, GA just let me down:

While taxiing to the runway from my home airport today to start the trip,
my HSI would not lock on to the magnetic heading. The HSI continued to
spin around and around.

We have an avionics shop on the field, so I taxied back over to the shop to
have the tech look over the system. One hour later, the verdict was in:
Apparently my S-Tech HSI gyro failed and needs to be replaced.

End of trip before it even started. What a let-down.

Couldn't go VFR? More stuff, more stuff to go wrong.

Hope Jay doesn't whack you with a cancellation fee

Can you reschedule your vacation and head to OSH? or had you also planned on
doing OSH?

Honestly, I was originally concerned about the back end of the trip, but
now I am considering VFR. Weather looks like it will allow it.

No, I hadn't planned on OSH this year. Some year, yes. However, I am
reconsidering the trip VFR. Today and tomorrow look pretty good after all.
