Hello All,

I called Flight Service for a briefing and was told that VFR is not
recommended. I told her, "Don't worry. Down here, VFR is never
recommended."

Ya'll come to see us along the Redneck Riviera. JKA in Gulf Shores, Alabama
now has an ILS on 27, freq. is 110.7.

Later...

Down here, you just have to learn to deal with CBs or you won't do much
flying.

A major improvement over that old VOR approach off Brookley, isn't it?

A major improvement indeed....although the ICW approach still works in a
pinch.....drop down over Mobile Bay, follow the intra-coastal waterway until
you pass the Holmes Bridge, hard left and a straight in to 35....

I fly a 2001 C172SP....check out the email posted on the Baldwin County
Civil Air Patrol Squadron Home page and drop me a note. You'll find it
under request information or something like that.

Semper vi.,

Stephen

I was expecting to see Phoenix high up on the list due to our Monsoon
season (T-stms most every day), but since the season only lasts about
2.5 months, I suppose the rest of the year brings the average down
pretty substantially.

I can personally vouch for Great Falls, MT's high ranking on the
windy city list (next page). GTF is the only place I've ever had to
cancel a flight because it was too windy to untie the plane.
