Re: Valdez Comin to OSH!

Looks like we are slowing moving mainstream... I kinda like being the red headed step child at my airport, but I'll take it. Will be even more fun at OSH.

Pops, are you flying your Cub? Will you be at New Holstein? It would be great to meet a bunch of BCP'ers when you are in my backyard.

Re: Valdez Comin to OSH!

Pops, let's hook up here in Utah as you make your way. The Wilga likes 80mph.

Your small fuel buys will make me ill but it'll be fun.

Re: Valdez Comin to OSH!

at 80 mph I can probably pull her back to 11-12 gph. My 'normal' cruise is 90 mph at 14. But it's a really awesome airplane so I love it.

I can only flight plan 200nm legs too. So it's really interesting getting across the country.


I've got a couple people talking about joining up on Facebook for part of the trip.
