I was jealous before you said this.....:wink2:

I enjoy the television program. Boats and planes are a lot different. But there are some things that are shared. On a boat, you are on your own. In an airplane, you are committed to your flight. On the show, the crew speak their minds freely. They are not constrained. It is good to feel...

It was a great flight! We picked one of the busiest days of the year to fly at Aurora. (It never seems that busy there.) After departure, we went southwest to avoid Parachute jumping at Hinckley. The airwork was very comfortable. The Seminole has more power than my old Apache, but less than...

Today at 4:30 pm, I will start training on Joliet Avionics Seminole. With my Apache time, I hope it is a smooth transition.:blueplane: ApacheBob

Hi y'all! Mrs. Apache Bob and I are going out for lunch. We may go to Grand Geneva or maybe Sheyboygan. I am going to check the EAA site for other possible lunch sites. Any better ideas in Southern Wisconsin? :blueplane: ApacheBob

Hey! I was near JZP on vacation recently. Is there anyone on the field who rents aircraft? ApacheBob

I like the code words for the FAA statement to pilots: Two commenters stated that the proposal would have an economic impact on general aviation traffic due to increased fuel burn. The FAA partially agrees with this comment. Although some aircraft would need to fly added distances or...

Did the passenger know about the brakes? As far as journalists being filled with integrity, that is stretching the blanket. Some certainly do, but some do not.:incazzato:

The Blue Angels are flying around Milwaukee today for the annual airshow. It sounds like the PERFECT day to fly in to Milwaukee Timmerman for lunch at El Greco. Who's with me? I should land around 11:30 am. N1477X, piper cherokee. :blueplane: ApacheBob

It is good to see Chicago win something! I don't agree with the Hossa pick. He may be a good player, but he coughed up the puck a couple times in very bad positions in the final game. We were allowed to wear BlackHawks jerseys at work, unlike when the Bears were in the Superbowl a few years...

I really enjoyed my Apache. The Duchess would be a money pit, from what others have told me. Seriously, don't expect to make money on a leaseback. Hindsight is 20/20. I would have saved money by renting. But I really enjoyed my Apache.

Kurt Raith does T-shirts cheap. His e-mail is "info@wearable-ink.com" Cheers!

Kealy's Cafe food was tasty! It sure was quiet, though. It was a little bumpy on the ride up there. I got there a little late for lunch, but I was the only plane on the ramp. Two older ladies were dining in the restaurant, and that was all. The wind was 10 gusting to 20 when I landed at...

Looks like a nice day today. Anyone up for lunch at JVL? I'll be in Cherokee 77X. :blueplane: ApacheBob

I wish I could join you. My sons have their choir concert tonight. Have fun! :blueplane: ApacheBob

Now we know what the world looked like in pre-historic times!

I should be airborne about 10:30 am. Maybe I will hear you on the radio.

I have never been there, but (as noted) watch out for the tether. Yikes! We flew by on a connecting flight from Miami to Key West. That baloon is way up there.:yikes:

Four years ago, costs forced my son's school to cancel the annual 8th grade trip to Washington. Needless to say, we were disappointed. I admire their pluck at getting their numbers, but it is sad that their kids get free trips to Washington, our nation's capitol, when our students do not get to go.

I have been wanting to check it out. It sounded good when they were planning it. I suspect it is hard to re-create the grittiness of the 1940s when our toughest challenge is deciding which Starbucks to buy coffee at. :D
