If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Thanks for the intel on the Kids. We are really looking forward to it.

We'd like some shirts too. 1 Large for me. 1 Small for my wife. If you do a kid size, 1 3T. Don't worry about it if you don't. I know there won't be much demand for kid sizes.

Thanks again for all your work and effort. This is the right address to email the release to, right? [email protected]


Hey Gary,

I know this might be too late, but my sister-in-law is joining us and, if possible, would like 1 medium shirt.

Thanks.

Re: Spring Utah Fly-in Pt 2

Watched HC's video on approach and landing ... with 3,000 ft of runway and the long approach along the river, looks like it might be OK for a backcountry beginner like me. Runway surface looks OK too for a tricycle gear plane like mine (Cherokee 180). :)

I'll have to check with the Boss, but we maybe can do this one.

Re: Spring Utah Fly-in Pt 2

If it's not too late, I'd love a T-Shirt and a camping spot!

Anyone flying up from or past the Salt Lake Area? I'll be flying a little 1-seater and would love to 'caravan' with another aircraft.

Yep, this one is pretty benign compared to others in the area. Adam R. from Phoenix has done most of the Intermediate strips in Utah in his Cherokee 140...

I'd love two XL T-Shirts.

I won't have room to bring my own food, are there any purchase options available there or should I plan on flying to CNY (and driving over to Moab :? ) after I drop off my Camping Gear?

Thanks! I'm excited!
