I am afraid my days of making that 1250 mile cross country are all used up. I loved every time I did it though.

Troy Whistman sorry for the mistake on the spelling of your last name I got confused.

A little update of what is going on in my life. I am still flying my 182 B all around the country. I will turn 89 in December of this year. I got me a dog at 82 to keep me out of the recliner and he is faithful at his job. I had a good time with Troy Whitham when he came out to Idaho to do a...

I for one think the weather might stand a better chance to be good in June rather in October. Yes it is not as hot and humid. But did anyone notice the number that got in by airplane vs those driving in. I thought it was a fly in and not a drive in. Just my 2 cents.

I see a decline at my airport but I think that if a person loves to fly he/she will make it happen. I hope to fly untill someone makes me quit. But I am only 82 years old so what do I know.... Huh Spike?

Good to meet you too Tim, I just wish it wasn't so far from Oregon.

Well I finally got home. I saw 68 Miles an hour when I left Elk City, OK. and it was a long slow flight from Lakeview, AR. to Buckeye, AZ. 26 M/h head winds all the way.I just got back to Vale this evening. At about 5 o'clock. Old Bob is tired. I was glad I made the trip and was glad to see...

I am leaving in the morning at 7:30 and plan on spending the night with Tony and Leah Condon in Wichita.

I was afraid you weren't going to make it, Spike, and I was very sad about that.

I am getting ready and excited to be going. I will spend Wednesday night with Tony and Leah in Wichita, and Thursday night with Tom and Diana in Jasper at the farm and plan on getting to Gastons on Friday morning sometime. Looking forward to renewing old friends and meeting some new ones.

Will those turkeys be falling on the Dam approach, or if I get there Friday morning will they already be at Gastons?

I can bring air-freshener!

I am coming a long ways to bring food stuff. Could someone that is in on the planning see what we need that isn't signed up for and if they have an opportunity to pick it up and I will pay for it when I get there. Please.

Does anyone remember an earlier message to me saying if I didn't make it to Gaston's this year they were going to come out and get me and bring me to the get together? ( a hint: a lawyer from Dalles!)

I don't have a bed but you can sleep in my Cessna much more room than a Bo. Should I bring a pillow?

We are planning a stop at the farm overnight Thursday night possibly with Tom and Diana. Then fly into Gastons on Friday morning.. My Son and his wife will meet us at Gastons and spend the time there with us . He tells me he has made the reservations.

The name comes from the original owners Name Jim Gaston, I think was his name. He was part of the Aerial Circus group of Jim Gaston, and the Cole brothers. I think this is correct.

I plan on staying at Tom and Diana's farm one night on my way.

I got my flight plan inserted into my 696 Garmin. over 1400 miles from S49 to 3m0. A great cross country. I hope the VFR weather holds up for us.

Those trees are a no factor at Gastons. Here is a landing I make at a place called The Minam Lodge in Oregon where the trees are getting closer each year. fVxDKXjWkT8
