As an aside, the geography near Middlesboro is unusual. One of the few
towns and/or airports you'll find that is completely encircled by mountains.
That's what happens at the center of an ancient meteor impact crater...

Interesting. Didn't know it was an impact crater. Wish I had known that when I
was there. I flew in a few years ago when Glacier Girl was under construction in
a Cherokee 180 at full GW. Did a circling departure over the field to gain
enough altitude to feel comfortable heading for the notch in the surrounding
mountains.

And you didn't notice the odd shape, compared to the surrounding
terrain, when you were flying around inside it?

Jay, you need to plan an overnight trip to Middleboro KY for a couple
days this summer. You can see Glacier Girl up close at the museum/hangar
and some of us on this group could fly down and meet up with you. Then
we could all fly out somewhere for some great Eastern US ribs in the
Western NC/Eastern TN area.

Count me in, if the dates work out right I might be persuaded to make the
BBQue!
