Looks like the aerial invasion of Gastons has begun. They just posted a pic of a certain C421 from Topeka on their Facebook page...

(By the way - you need to mail in that registration card to the feds ...)

I had to look that up when I heard "421." :)

N421AN... I feel like I know that tail number...

Perfect! I was gonna bring a water melon, but I would rather have a dishable fruit salad and use a spoon. I'll bring Mogan & Coke. :D

It isnt' on the field at Gaston's yet. A certain 170 was here first if you don't count the two Air Guard helicopters that were taking off just after we landed. :yes::D
 
Hurry up, people!! This party has started!!

Runway conditions are as usual. Dry, firm, and bumpy. New tiedown tires and ropes marked white in the tiedown area.
 
I really hate that I am sitting in my cubicle right now.
 
Ok, I am getting reaaalllly jealous! Next year, count me in.

I bought a big watermelon last night, and will be baking chocolate chip and sugar cookies tonight. I'll send as many as I can with Bryan, but the kids have already called dibs on some of the cookies.
 
Sign us up to bring some chocolate chip/caramel/pretzel cookies. :)

Baked, of course, by my beautiful bride. My skill lies more on the consumption side of things. :rofl:
 
Looks like a pretty day there. Headwinds forecast for the route from Atlanta. If we don't have to dodge too much stuff, I'm guessing a 1PM arrival for us.

Anybody who will be on the flight line tomorrow want to post a mobile number we can call if a weather diversion to KBPK means we need a pickup there?
 
Oh good, the 300 HP alarm clock! If I was there early enough, I'd do the alarm clock in formation with him and we'd have a 900 HP alarm clock. :D

What?? no pictures of the 170?
 
Room #50 if anyone needs anything. Apparently we have no cell phone service here. You can call the room if needed.
 
I have cabin 61 (two bedroom, two bath, living room, kitchen). If someone is interested in splitting it let me know.

We could host the party(s) in it as well.
 
No cell service? Seriously? I realize it is Arkansas and all, but no cell phones?

;)

People asking about grass conditions: cut short. Today: Dry, bumpy and washboardy, as usual. Keep full aft elevator on the rollout!
Tomorrow after the predicted rain, who knows!?!

Well now, with the grass so short and all, I do believe I will have to inspect the runway prior to landing. It's only the appropriate thing to do.

Sorry Grant, I beat ya to it... Just didn't announce it publicly. :)

I usually wait for people to need to cancel, since Gaston's dings you for a night if you cancel. If you need to switch a reservation, you just add the other person's name to it.

If all else fails, a 421 is plenty big enough to sleep in. :goofy:
 
Anyone have a place for me to crash on Saturday night, if I make my flight?

Merde! ;)

Hopefully something else will turn up, or Tim may be bunking with Ed!:yikes:
At this point, we're 90% confident we'll be flying in Friday evening.

I will do everything in my power to ensure the cookies are in no way shaped like anything that might be considered phallic.




Except the exact opposite.

Dry fitted my 10x10 EZ Up in the 182. Might work since our seats will fold forward. So we might be well covered in the shade department.

Wet fitting is way too messy. Good job sir.

And somehow, Mini6PC is a normal kid.... Go figure.
 
I'm going to try for an 11am arrival. I'll text Mike for a field condition report or holla on 122.8.

Or text me at 817.SevenOneFour.2002
 
5:00am no big changes @3M0; brief light shower recently.
Unpleasant line assoc. w cold front to NW - moving slowly S & E, should be atop us at noon but I think, weakening somewhat.
