All right Ohio'n, speak-up now or for ever hold your piece! If you live in Ohio or near the edge of Ohio in KY, IN, PA, W Va or Mich, please respond. 

It appears that a bunch (verses a flock or gander) of the Kolbers meet every year somewhere (besides the Kolb factory) and talk, drink beer, camp out and enjoy each others company. I'd like to do likewise on a smaller scale, as in within say 100-150 miles of central Ohio (as the Kolb flies). I would like to enjoy that air jockey thing that the John's, Lar and others get to enjoy with some frequency on a smaller budget and, because of work related projects, time allows (picture weekends or overnight).



I know of a Kolb in Marion, mine in Sunbury, one in Marysville area, one in Fostoria, one in E. Liverpool and thats about it. Are there anymore of you out there. If they don't do this board, does someone know of their wearabouts and a way to contact them. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated and I will keep a (landing) light on for ya!

The Frappr site will only show the flyers that are registered to the Frapper.com site. I guess there are many (or a few?) who are not registered to Frappr but are on this list.

   

  The Matronics list have been around for quite a while (last check, 900 members registered to the Kolb group, sure i guess many are gone, but its only a stat) , the Frappr site is kinda new (4 weeks ago no Kolb members, last check today, its up to 63!)

   

  So guess thats why Ohio Kolbers was asking if there were others out there. Gee, I was going to ask the same question about anyone within a few hundred miles of middle Tennessee... so far Frappr.com shows 1 (shout out to Wade), but can he and I be the only 2 Kolbs in the area? I sure hope not! It does not make for a very intersting fly-in if only 2 planes show up! But then again, air traffic control would be a breeze...  

   

  So on that thought, any Mid Tennesse Kolbs out there... give out a shout! 

   

  Oh By The Way MN Mike, thanks for the macreme pics, they were great, and i am not sure if i can use them on my AC, but i rather know i had the option and did not use it VS not know and need it!!

No. I have two airstrips in Athens, so no moving. But at this very moment I

am in Lexington KY on my way to the factory at London KY to check out the

fit of the MarkIII X fuselage against my decidely large frame. Also to get

the half-unit on board for the process as well. Will get photos and post

them as well. Will stay in the Southeastern corner of Ohio and provide

forced landing area for other Kolb people going to and from places near and

far.

Todd, Reminds me of my Harley years. Although I only had one, as that's all

any man can use at any given time, many of the community I ran with had two

or three bikes. One gets dirty or isn't the right color for the rags they

would were, they would take another one. But man, two airfields; out of one

and into the other, great! Give me your lat and long at some point and I

market it in my booklet. I am hangered at a Johnstown private field. For the

sake of conversation we have about 10-15 small private fields within 20

miles as the Kolb flies. While you're down at the factory tell Travis and

Donny that the Rev. Ralph in central Ohio said hi. Let me know when you get

back and we will swap stories.

Hi Guys,



I live in West Chester, Ohio (just north of Cincinnati).  Presently

building a Mark III Xtra.  I have all the airframe parts built & working

on the fuel system  but I just got a beautiful 1969 BMW R60/2 so

that's taking some time also.



If anybody is in the area let me know.  I have a hanger at the Hamilton

airport (HAO).

Ohio Kolbers,



You can add me to the list.   I have a Firefly with 315 hours on 

engine/airframe.   My plane was built by Bryan Melbourn.   

I had a hangar for several years at Waynesville but moved it a year ago to 

Clearwater Air Park near Owensville, OH.

I actually live in Cincinnati.

Rex, you and your airfield are recorded. I believe we have the making of a

roundabout flight plan including many parts of PA and Ky. All possibly if

done right available with the "sporty (Harley slang for tiny) tank of about

1-1 1/2 hours of 2000 feet ASL on a calm day.



I'll contact all that reply off site in an e-mail. This has some great

potential!

Gene, a pleasure to add you. If you know anyone else in our area that

perhaps doesn't respond on the Kolb pages here, let us know. We are in the

midst of creating our own Air Corp. Free flight jackets to the first 500 new

members! HA, HA!

Snuffy, you are "qualified and will be entered into our new grand prize

drawing for a flight jacket". Please send $ 500.00 to cover postage and

handling. HA, HA!



2000 x 75 is big enough for even me to land in! In this instance it's OK to

brag about size among men. HA, HA!



I'll send you an off site e-mail soon. We all are going to have some flying

to do this year! When I rode bikes it was all about the trip. Getting there

(where ever there was) only meant that the fun was half over. Under the

opportunity to meet others with similar interests, it can always mean that

the trip in just beginning.

All Kolb drivers are large, "we don't got no little people". It takes a real

man or (woman loggers only) to be Kolkbers! "It's all in the mind!"
