say about you Q-guys behind your back!

I repeat: Do not wait to the last moment to try to arrange for rides at
Ottawa. Only the very lucky are able to arrange for DF rides at the
airport. "Well, do you feel lucky, punk?" (Clint Eastwood said it not
me).

Traditionally there are more Q-craft than DFs at Ottawa, and the Q-guys
are a bunch of flying fools (in the good sense), so it is possible to
connect with a two-place Q pilot to get a ride that approximates the DF
experience (of course, they say it's a better experience).

I do not get in the middle of arranging rides at Ottawa. Someone usually
steps up to volunteer to organize a sign-up sheet, but it tain't me. I
have yet to see a sign-up plan that makes everyone happy. But something
is probably better than nothing. I'm still waiting for this year's
volunteer.

With the cooler weather in October we definitely get more air hours than
when we held this thing in September. More air hours means more happy
checkriders. Having the Awards Dinner at the airport means we don't have
to shut air operations down early just to drive cross-town for food,
which means more air hours (see above).

If you can talk a pilot into arriving early (or possibly, staying late),
Friday or Sunday are great times to get checkrides. But it is difficult
to accomplish because pilots are tired when they arrive on Friday and
want to get on their way back home on Sunday. Things you should be aware
of.

Did I mention that the Early Fly-In Registration Discount goes away
after this Friday, then standard Registration rates apply? Did you see
the great list of door prizes?

OK, I'm openly and shamelessly begging...I need to ride in a Q2 while I'm
there. That's what I'm driving all the way from Ashland, KY for!!!! I just
bought a "project" a couple of months ago that had flown about 200 hrs. with
a Revmaster, and I'm doing a firewall-forward with a 'vair, but I've never
been up in one.

Anybody??? PLEASE???? $$$$$$????

I'm arriving 10/6pm, departing 10/9am

A most excellent job of begging, Chris. Surely someone from the Q group
will take pity on you. What are your vital statistics (Height/Weight)?
