The Bonanza that beat all the Q-200's in the non-race is back safely with its
pax. Fun performance run even in the bumps, hilarious banquet with all you great guys and girlies and a great time out in cold, windy bright and beautiful mutha nature gawking at the 10 aircraft. It ain't better than Oshkosh (yet) but I wouldn't like it if I had to miss it. Hope you other pilots will check in. j. |

Hi Jimmy,
Just a note to let you know Bruce and I made it home safely with a nice tail wind. It was still cold with a high of 48 degrees in the cockpit. It was a beautiful ride home with great visability. Bruce said that it was great to see your hands up for our low pass heading home. Sorry I couldn't see you from the right seat. I thank all you pilots who let me know that they have a heater--maybe we will too soon. I was glad I had all my warm stuff on. We enjoyed seeing everyone and getting updates on the last 12 months. It was a big success.

This is going to be a mighty grim day here in southern Illinois... I have to go back to work. :-( It was a great visit, and I want a rematch against that Bonanza! JMasal@... wrote: The Bonanza that beat all the Q-200's in the non-race is back safely with its |

Bruce and Joanne - Thanks for complying with my request for a fast downwind
pass on departure. Youse guys looked REAL good with that tailwind. As I saw you doing the 360 on the north end, Kenedy was climbing on takeoff. I thought, OOH OOH we have a potential traffic conflict here, but Kennedy is very visible with that yellow paint and when he saw you guys fooling around he followed right behind to give us stragglers 2 nice passes to finish the show weekend. It was nice to have a tailwind on the way back to Dallas. |

I think the Bonanza is going to take its winnings and leave the table, Sam.
You were nipping on our heels too close! Rick did get a better GPS from a Dragonfly guy at the show and we discussed flying a straighter course line to squeeze out another mph result but this plane is 30 years older than yours and needs to be put out to stud. The performance run is a HOOT to do though even in the Pietenpol that brought up the rear. dittos on the grim part of being back to work after an Ottawa weekend. Nice to see your co-pilot again! |

Just a note to let you know Tom Moore and I made it home cruising at mach
.007, FL000 with a blistering ground speed of 75mph. The wind read out on the Ford FMS never worked, but I did have to crab around some slower traffic in Oak City. Our heater worked really, really well :-) Thanks to Don and Deb, and all who flew in! For those of you that missed a ride in the air conditioned Piet.....it's a great way to appreciate a closed cockpit in the winter! Till next year, Mike Brown |

Hey Jimmeh,
I knew Kennedy was taking off after me so I was looking for him. When I saw him I radioed him telling him I was off his 11:00 and passing under him. I didn't turn for the initial until I saw him. At 1 point on the trip up to Ottawa I caught myself wondering why I was going. The OAT at 5500' was 26 degrees and even with all our ski outfits on it was still a little cool on our feet (as you know I don't have cabin heat). But Joanne and I really enjoyed ourselves. I got such a kick giving rides and watching newbies!!! The banquet was just a blast!! What a fun lovin' group!! The Stewarts were very gracious and much appreciated. I was hoping to give Don a ride but it never worked out. Look me up next year Don. Or maybe you could get with Matt when we are out in Phoenix the last of this month and we could go for a spin. Again Don and Debbie, you are very special folks. Thanks so much Lord Bless Bruce and Joanne Crain On Mon, 9 Oct 2000 11:34:54 EDT JMasal@... writes: Bruce and Joanne - Thanks for complying with my request for a fast________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
