I don't know, I think I've lost my touch. I went out and landed at about 8 airports then got to work on trying to claim them. But Todd Wolfley had just got his claims in for all of them. I only got to claim his home airport. It was a good thing though, his writeups were better than mine would...

I like the idea of the sawzall. But if you want a canopener that works get a SwingAway. Available at Grocery stores and Ace Hardwares near you---probably.

Everywhere is on the way to 6Y9, Ya know. Torrington only adds a mere 50 miles to the trek. But,,, I'm on call that weekend, and being an employee now kind of makes it more difficult to get away. :dunno: Maybe next year. :idea: Barb

I haven't been there in a couple of years. But it is a very well maintained airport with 2 strips. They have a flyin there that attracts all types of planes including retracts. It is alot nicer than Mio, that Maverick had her Cardinal in to.

Woo Hoo Hoo! I even remembered my password. I'm ready. My goal--50 new-to-me airports in the next 12 months. Come here little airport! :ihih: Thanks, Nick

Maybe he is just joking? :idea:

He probably forgot Leslie! :hairraise: :rofl:

Red Oak Iowa RDK seemed like a nice place with reasonable fuel prices. They are supposed to have a courtesy car and the reports on AirNav are that they were very friendly and helpful. I didn't spend the night. Most places in the vicinity of Scottsbluff NE BFF have cheaper gas than they do...

Yep. The Magenta Line of Death! I stay off of it as much as possible. I learned that here on the POA. :D

I fly a 1958 PA-22 Tripacer. The panel is a cross between kind of nice and well used. Here is a picture of most of it. Barb

It's worthless! I didn't find POA mentioned in the favorite Aviation Internet Sites. :dunno: :D

Pawnee NE (50K) and Red Stewart OH (40I) had fuel last time I was at them ( within the last 5 years). Lee Bottom IN (64I) is a really nice grass strip with a cabin you can sometimes rent for the night. I can't remember if they have gas. Steve See or Diana may know. Diana did a grass strip tour...

Actually, when I bought this house I inherited to barn cats, which mean cat food, which means raccoons. And I was told they are HUGE. I feel at home already. Oh and now I get to watch out for rattlesnakes to, I'm looking at a deringer that shoots shotgun shells, I think they call it a Texas...

I still haven't been to California, it is kind of on the way.

I moved in December. I got tired of working for myself and moved to Torrington WY, about 30 miles from Scottsbluff NE. The airport is nice, fuel prices are the best in the area and the airport dog, Fred, does tricks. And the weather is more mild than Michigan although the wind does blow a little...

I still have the house in Michigan. My friend is keeping my horse back home till I get settled out here. I just bought a house here in WY but the old owners are going to keep their 6 horses here for awhile. I've got 40 acres with a creek and the Governor is sort of my neighbor, at least he owns...

My trip this year is to Spearfish SD, about 1.5 hours away. It should only take 2/3ths of a day and 4 stops to get there but maybe 2 to 3 days to get home! (I hope)

Sage gives the plane a nice smell! and antelope hair buffs the belly up real shiny. Just watch out for the antlers, they can nick a prop.

I don't wash the belly of my plane. Just use Mequiars cleaner wax on it. Wipe on, let it dry to a haze and hand buff it off. Get a clean belly and waxed at the same time. And there is nothing to run down your arm. The rags end up really dirty. Barb
