Are you working that day?? That's actually a good idea. I may have a
couple of hours to kill if my afternoon meeting gets cancelled. I'll look into it. Thanks! Marco "Margy Natalie" wrote in message ... If you are going to be in Northern VA you should try to visit the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum. It opens Monday and is WONDERFUL. Margy Marco Leon wrote: So far it looks like bad wx in the Northeast. I need to go on a biz trip from Long Island to DC and I may fly the Warrior to JYO (Leesburg) and take a cab to my destination in McLean. I have a plane ticket on the Delta Shuttle but I'll hop in the plane if the stars line up. It'll probably be busy at the VFR altitudes so I would go IFR for the traffic and the ADIZ considerations. If not, I'll make sure to sit in my plane when I get home and bask in the glory of it all. Regards, Marco "Jack Allison" wrote in message ...

And, at taxpayer expense to boot! :-) Not complaining mind you...a bit
jealous though :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "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) |

Read the Air & Space article on the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center...looks very
cool! Definitely on my list of places to visit. Hmmm, I smell a long x-country flight a few years down the road... So Margy, you get to go to the opening of the center, then maybe fly down to Kitty Hawk...in a 172? What, no Navion? I suppose 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Ron really lets you fly in high wings? ducking :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "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) "Margy Natalie" wrote in message ... I'm going to Kitty Hawk right after opening the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Hope to get a ride from a friend in a 172, but if weather doesn't allow I'll drive.

snip One cool thing the Club is doing is certificates. Everyone who flies at the Club on the 17th (not just the pilots) gets a nice-looking "I Helped Celebrate 100 Years of Aviation" certificate that the Club's had made up, all signed by our Chief Flying Instructor & our President. Neat idea. On the 17th, I'll be heading over to the Lindbergh terminal at the Minneapolis/St.Paul International Airport (MSP) Wold-Chamberlain Field. Flight to Atlanta I volunteered to drive a friend over there on Wednesday - he's the one flying to Atlanta. After that I'll drive home, let the poodle out, then head over to ANE (Anoka-Blaine) to do what I enjoy doing - driving around, chatting with folks, etc. -- Montblack http://lumma.de/mt/archives/bart.gif |

Sorry but the price of freedom ain't cheap. :-)
If it helps, I assure you there will be some tactical training going on. Besides, the poor ole Huey has been up-staged by the Blackhawk. The Huey is pretty much only used for point A to point B flying anymore. Although, we did have them out doing sling loads the last couple of weeks. Not as nice as doing slings with a Chinook but surely do-able. Fred "Jack Allison" wrote in message ...

I returned a few hours ago from my flight to celebrate the 100th
anniversary. A few years ago I had an idea for a flight I wanted to take but never motivated to do it. Thanks in a good part to this post I thought to do it on the 17th. With the weather in New York looking very bad for tomorrow I took the flight today. Today I landed at all 11 public paved airports on long island in ny in a round robin flight. Islip Farmingdale Kennedy Intl La Guardia Mattituck Fishers Island Montauk East Hampton West Hampton ( Gabreski ) Spadaro ( east moriches ) Brookhaven Islip It was a fun day of flying and a tribute to all the aviators and people of aviation who have made it possible for me to FLY !!

Very nice Jon. That's a lot of airports in one day!
I have yet to go flying today, planning on being in the air around 3:30 pacific time. Fortunately, weather isn't a factor...48 degrees and sunny skies in my neck of the woods. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "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) |

Well, I opened the center and took off from Dulles with a friend in a CLASSIC
172. Beauttiful flight! Margy Jack Allison wrote: Read the Air & Space article on the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center...looks very cool! Definitely on my list of places to visit.
