Sad news indeed!  Was looking forward to seeing you again.  Had a great flight in the mighty Skylark last year, recall?

All you guys and gals headed for Monument Valley have a good one.  I hate

that I can't make it this year.  It looks like you are going to have a

great trip.

I have to say a big "thanks" to Dave Rains for providing airlift for my

father-in-law and me on Saturday morning.  MV is spectacular from any angle,

but it's something special from that air!



Although we didn't stick around all day (other family commitments in Mexican

Hat), this gathering is definitely on the schedule for next year.  It was

good to put faces with all the list names I've been seeing for the past five

years!

It was good meeting you, too, Doug.   Many, many people owe a big thank you to Dave Rains this year, including me.  And for last year, too, and the year before that.                          Lar.

Hi All,

  

 We finally arrived home on Sunday  after our 3  week jaunt around 6 States.

  

 Wendy and I both thoroughly enjoyed our couple of  days at MV and would like to thank everyone for the warmth of our  welcome.

  

 The evening sessions under the stars with the odd  bottle of Dos Equis while the talk flowed were great. I was sorry not to see MV  from a Kolb but by the time we arrived preparations were under way for the  flights home with refuelling done and kit packed so it was understandable that  pilots didn`t want to go joy riding.  We were both very grateful for the  flight around the area in the Cessna. Thank you Dave particularly as you had  been flying Indian kids all day. What a spectacular place to fly.We  appreciated it more I think because Lar had taken us out to Mexican Hat, the San  Juan river and up a hair raising trail to the top of a mesa in his great  truck in the morning so we had seen it from ground  level.. 

  

 I stand in awe at the sort of terrain you guys fly  over and the distances you travel. Most of the way you would not have got me to  fly anywhere but within landing distance of the road 

  

 On the last morning we stopped for fuel before  checking the airstrip so we just missed the drama of Jeff  taking to the  sage in his Drifter on take off. We did see the video though so may be it will  turn up on YouTube??.

  

 We left after breakfast for Durango and the storm  clouds were building up so we were worried about the weather that some people  were flying into. Particularly when the  Thunder Gods chased us off Mesa  Verde with lightning and rain drops which seemingly held about a pint of water  each.

 Our lasting impression is of the vast distances.  When the Satnav in our car said `Turn left after 79 miles` and we could see the  road stretching into infinity before us it really brought it home to us what a  tight little island we live in.

  

 It also shed light on the way Americans come to  England  with the idea that they will `do ` England in 2 days, Scotland and  Wales in one day each and then off to to Europe.  Often in the States we  drove a hundred miles and there was absolutely nothing to stop for. In the UK  there is a village or something interesting  about every half mile so  anyone who is contemplating a trip to the UK, when the exchange rate improves,  allow a bit of time and let us know. There is a bed here for visiting  Kolbers.

  

 Thanks again to everyone and particularly to Big  Lar who supplied us with maps and pages of fascinating and relevant information  and suggested routes.

  

 Pat and Wendy

Thank you, Pat.  It was a great pleasure to meet you and Wendy, and I enjoyed our travels together.  Too bad you couldn't have spent more time, but sounds like you made the most of what you had.                         Lar.

Hi All,

  

 I am trying to knock together an article on the MV  Fly-in which I will try and get published in our Microlight mag.

  

 I have a few notes but it would be a help if  participants could let me have  some details of their flights to MV and  Back.

  

 Where they came from, what plane and engine, time  taken, hours flown, distance flown, weather, problems etc. The regime you fly  under,. Ultralight, Sports Pilot, Experimental etc wouldalso be  interesting.

  

 Just the facts, man.  I will put it all  together.

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat

Hi,

someone at MV told me but I have forgotten.  How many years has the fly-in 

been running and how did it start?

This year was the 5th MV fly-in.  Seems like it was Boyd Young and Erich 

Weaver who started planning to meet there, and a bunch of us jumped on the 

bandwagon.              Lar.             Do not Archive.

hoping the $#%^ rain will stop sometime.                  Lar.

Hi All,

can any of the MV crew please tell me how it all started?  Did someone pick 

a place at random, did someone fly in to Gouldings and just thought it 

looked good and talked up the idea of a fly in?.



Was this years MV the 6th or 7th fly in?.  I have been told both  figures.



Does anyone have a definitive list of plane types which were there. I have 

Challengers and Drifters and a Cessna and Mark 3`s but would like a 

breakdown of the single seaters. Please.

Pat   Sept. of  2002,  Erich Weaver , myself and others started a cross

country trip through southern Utah.  The plan was to start in Beaver Utah,

the next day we were to go to Moab then to MV and Bryces National park, back

to Beaver then disperse to home....   the trip went ok through Moab...  then

the weather in the MV area turned into thunderstorms,  some of the others I

had flown with down from Salt Lake City had a positive be home by date,,,

with no time in the schedule for rain delays....   the agreement I had with

them was,,  if anyone had to go for any reason,  we would all go together

without complaints....   so from Moab all of the northern Utah flyers headed

for home.....    so that December Erich sent an email to me through the list

and asked if I wanted to finish the trip...  so I picked a date in May 2003,

and replied,,,  others on the list jumped at the idea and  the gathering was

on.

Hi Pat,



This year's MV gathering was the 5th.  I took my Firefly there in May 2002 and later shared some photos with John Hauck when I learned he had never flown in Arizona or Utah yet.  He shared with the list and that added some fuel to the idea of a gathering in May 2003 that Boyd and Erich had apparantly started earlier.



Cheers!
