Leaving this morning for my migration to the East Coast...going the southern route. It's been great flying with all of you Sierra Flyers.

I'll post updates long the way and and a full TR once my girl is settled at her new home...

Have a good safe flight. The West's loss is the East's gain for sure. Keep in touch here.
Chance

Have a good trip!

Hope the weather cooperates. Fly safe.

Gonna miss having you around these parts! We have sure had some fun! Stay safe and keep in touch. I look forward to seeing you out this way again. Better go look up those Ohio guys!










Good times for certain!

Man, that sure is gonna be a long flight to Johnson Creek every year! It was great to have you out here, have a safe trip to the east coast and keep in touch.

you should come over to eastern Ohio maybe??

Hey 260Driver,

I'll throw this out there.....

.......If your route East passes thru the NW Arkansas area there will be a heated hangar, hot meal and guest room waiting for ya!

P.M. me if interested!

Good flying and be safe.

Kenny

B.T.W- Ohio looks like fun!

260driver, what part of the east are you heading too?

Nice pics, Kevin...thanks for all the kind words...I'm going to miss the Sierras for sure...

I-40 is SO exciting...I can't wait to drive it on the ground...


Sedona for tonight...beautiful. Of course the Drift battery died on approach



Bowtie - We are planning on heading through NW Arkansas...we were going to stop at Gastons for the night, but if you've got a better offer and you're on the way...who am I to say no? I'll PM ya...

Ohio is definitely in the cards, hopefully this spring...can't make it this week, time-limited, but for sure in the near future!

New homebase will be inside the FRZ at VKX ...not ideal, but closer to home.

Jeremy, I picked up my PA-12 at 2W5, not to far south of there. The guy I bought it from hangared a 180 at Potomac. Former Park Service chopper jockey. I put him on to an M-4 in Utah, which I believe he is now restoring in DC. He's also a CFI, which might be handy for your biannuals and such. PM me if you'd be interested in an introduction.

Flying out of the FRZ a single time without an F-16 escort was a major achievement for this Wyoming hick. Based on some of the airspace I'm guessing you've flown, the FRZ restrictions will barely rank as low-grade nonsense for you.

Tailwinds on your trip east, and best wishes for your time out there. Don't let much time pass before getting to know the OBP guys. No matter how quickly you get there, you'll wish you had done it sooner!

Jeremy,
Say hi go your uncle for us. And remind him he promised to fly his Widgeon to JC next year. I hope to see you both there again.
Tom

Good luck Jeremy... Be safe an happy, an we'll see ya soon..

After about 20hrs of cruising, we made it in to 2W5 yesterday after dark...talk about a black hole!

I'll post more with pics as soon as I get them downloaded...

Jeremy it was a good time hanging with you here out west. Good luck with all your new career goals. Hope to see you at JC this summer.

Cheers...Rob

Glad to hear you made it, and yes,........ post photos!!!!

260driver;
Drop over to KMRB when you get a chance. I flew with the Ohio Bush Planes (OBP) thru our West Virginia tour in October. You may love the different terrain and some interesting "backcountry" destinations in my state and neighboring areas.
I soloed many, many years ago at VKX. I've got the FRZ pin# to get into CGS; from there its a short walk to the DC Metro and then the DC Mall museums, etc.

OldCuby/Mr. Newton,
Just wanted to check in and say hello. I've met you a few times at the open house at the guard. Hopefully you have had a chance to make it into my strip in Gerrardstown. Dad thought he saw a cub flying low I wasn't sure if it was you or Rich. Your more than welcome anytime just watch the power lines on the west side. Same goes for you 260Driver. PM or call if you want coordinates

Hi Trebor,
In my flying rounds this evening, I stopped by Richy's strip and after a visit, I landed at your Dad's strip on the way home. I was in there for the first time several weeks ago. Nice smooth grass, thanks. Let's get together some time. I hope we can meet 260Driver down the road.
Jim

Absolutely, gents! My girl is resting at VKX after the long trip...I still need to finish the paperwork for the FRZ...after that, game on! Can't wait to see what's around the area...
