I hope it wasn't my friend Sixie in his Bo.:yes:

This is a poem that Sixie told me once: We walked down the lane together, The sky was studded with stars, We walked to the gate together, I lifted for her the bars. I looked into her big brown eyes, There is nothing between us now, For I am only the hired man, And she is the Gersey...

I always try to take someone along for a ride if I can. Flying is so much more fun when you are sharing it with someone.

On the 11th of this month (June) I am going to fly over to Hamilton Montana to a UFO meeting. It will be my first time to meet any of these pilots. I remember way back when I had my 170 Cessna I flew this same route over to Hamilton to get an annual done. The Ap and AI there owed me and said he...

Becky, I would really like it if you would take a few minutes and go to : www.youtube.com/skybobb and watch a video I posted called: HIS LAST WISH- AN AIRPLANE RIDE. I am especially proud of this video and it goes along with what we are saying here.:yes:

Last time I was at Gastons I landed there numerous times on that Sat. I got prior permission and the wind was out of the south so I had to land the opposite way as in this video. I want to do it again. some were complaining they didn't get to go they went on a poker run instead.:yes:

I have found that Gastons is much less challenging that Thunder ridge where you have to be close to the roof of his hangar, and then between those trees, and try to get it down before the runway goes over the hill and down hill.

Good Morning all, I just got back from a flight to Caldwell ID. and back to take Al and Vicki to breakfast. They are the couple that drove Mid Life Mark's car to Rome so Mark and Terri could fly down there with me. They are so good to me and Al loves to fly and Miss Vicki is fighting lung...

No Nate I didn't have an arm to throw the ball. But I was able to catch the ball I wish I could copy this Oregonian news paper article about the TD, I caught against Linville college. But it is in my scrap book and to big to get im my copy machine. It was a catch like the one Clarke of the 49ers...

I was just back to the Wright Brothers Memorial in N.C. and it helps me really appreciate more my chance to learn to fly and my love for flying, and the knowledge that Orville and Willbur gave to us. I hear pilots on here saying the wind was blowing 20 miles an hour so I couldn't go flying...

You might share this with her. My wife Essie, didn't want to fly with me for the first 23 years that I had a PPL. I got my license in 1980 and finally in 2003 when I said I am going back to see our son in Bloominton, IL. and then on to Oshkosh she said I will fly with you. Then she flew every...

I joined a new club just a while back and it made me feel good when I got a call from one of the members telling me thanks for joining up that they sure needed some young blood in the organization. It is called the UFO which stands for United Flying Octogenarians. To join you have to have a...

Nate, I am glad that my article gave you a push into your past and brought back some memories that probablly needed to be remembered. I wrote that article to my kids, but so many others said how it spoke to them that I felt impelled to share it. I being an old teacher, it seems I share...

Thank you Kent. I will try to post something on here from time to time.

I might even offer a few more rides into Thunder Ridge for those that missed last time I was there.

Randy and sixie, I haven't been over here in a while so some of the newer pilots don't know about what Brian got me starting to do years ago.

Don’t judge a book by the last Page! by Bob Bement. I wanted to write this article while I still could. On my next birthday, in December I will be 80 years old. I wanted to tell my three children, Diane, Bob, and Beckie, about growing old before I suffer a stroke...

Well If I can find a copilot to fly along I might give it another try. Medical in July is a hurdle I will have to overcome. Also a BFR but I can't flunk that. I just might be there.

I would like to get back there again, so we will see how it goes. It sounds like there might be some newbies there, huh?

Is this October fly-in replacing the one that is usually held in June, at Gastons"
