1st to get there last to leave, Diz drives back tomorrow. I flew out today barely making it out of 6Y9 as we had torrential rain after everyone else left,lot's of standing water, I should have had floats not wheels. Stopped at N. Fox on the way home for some grass cutting and mower repair. The...

Barb Have fun up there. Brad

Tim, are you talking about one of those blow up dolls ? I suppose that would look better in the right seat than just a life vest

All three mower went over in an Britten Norman Islander that belong to a Charter Co ,Island Airways run by Paul Welke and operate out of Beaver Island and Charlevoix. They haul cargo and passengers. Was out there today cutting grass.

Thanks Oliver for the cool pic., what a nice looking Mooney. By the way we have had a Mooney at 6Y9 before, just watch speed and weight.

Hey Thanks Tim When you come up for 6Y9 I hope you can take a side trip out to N.Fox

I fly a Cherokee, I'm the State Liaison here in Mi. The Montana State Liaison flies his Vtail Bonanza into lots of Back Country strips out west. High wings------- tish tosh;) We are working on making many of the airstrips capable by what most of us fly ,not just for S-Cubs. Husky's and Maule's...

It gets amazingly quiet when one mentions $ and donations for projects ;) The RAF is a 501 C 3 non profit with donations being tax deductible. If you like this sort of Recreational Flying we would appreciate your financial support. We've had some N.Fox visitors join, we've had some join and...

We have verbal agreements in place with the two landowners. We will finalize those in writing. The RAF will start the campaign for donations. The excavation cost that is needed is about 25k. We hope to move dirt, level and plant this summer/ fall If we're lucky ,maybe next summer. N.Fox took us...

I was already to launch this morning for Fond Du Lac. About the same time as this accident. My check of the weather told me not to go, maybe a good decision .

The "group" of planes from Ishpeming were Dean in his Pacer ,Bill in the Chief, Frank in the silver L-4 cub, Bill's cousin in a really nice yellow J-3 and Dan in a T-Craft. Once in awhile Dean's cousin would fly in in a Maule.

I think it was the Aeronca Chief that they had flown for awhile. Waiting for the NTSB/FAA report for more info. Dean Honkala was flight instructor and a great guy with a great sense of humor. Bill Brewer was a great guy also. Always a smile when he flew in. Bill's cousin who was a pilot also...

No, it wasn't M-61 and it wasn't "Honkala Field" their private airstrip. Just out in the woods.

Yeah ,a dog is in the basement----??? Is that not allowed in Socal?o_O

Terrible past ,a hopefully and brighter future. The Island itself had no part played in the despicable past human involvement and behavior . We hope to improve the use of the island to be wholesome and harmless with good memories for all visitors. We cannot change the past but we can the...

Thanks Tim for the Pirep I need to remind everyone this cabin belongs to the Mi. Dept of Nat. Resources and they want no one using it or staying there. The fireplace and walkout basement were from the house that was once there and was burned. The RAF is trying to get the use of the cabin and...
