He said it was cool but after a half hour it was time to get out. That's about the time they entered the German side of the Channel. g Hey, you're in luck. Rides go about 30 minutes, according to the website. http://www.b17.org/faq/ Q: How long does the flight experience last? A: Each flight experience lasts approximately 35 minutes, of those 20 - 22 minutes will be in the air. I've just now got the inside dope - the skinny: Aluminum Overcast will fly from Denver, back to OSH, for a 10 day rest. She'll then do the Wis, Minn, Iowa legs, right before AirVenture. Our EAA Chapter has been "invited" to OSH for help with maintenance & upkeep of the B-17. We're lining up volunteers for the work party. June 18: She departs Denver, for OSH June 29: She makes a short hop to Waukesha, Wis., from OSH July 6-8: She'll be at ANE (North End of the field @ AWAM - by the Tower) http://www.americanwings.org/ (AWAM) American Wings Air Museum @ ANE Montblack |

Prolly play golf, too...
Yep I do but not nearly as much as before. I got my handicap down to 5 in the mid 90's but then realized what's the point of this? So I golf occasionally now. This weekend we're taking the 5th wheel and the boat to Helena. There's a time and place for everything. I know, I'm just giving you sh*t. I used to golf three times a week. Then I learned how to fly, and golf became...just golf. Haven't touched a club since my first flight lesson. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I would love to take a sailboat into the South Pacific for a year or two and see a lot of the WWII islands. |

Flew/golfed from Colonial in Texas, to Banff in Alberta. And,remember, "Only God can hit a one-iron" -- Lee Trevino, but, boy-oh-boy, can I hit a two-iron! |

I get sea-sick watching old "McHale's Navy" reruns. |
