This is not a sales pitch but since I recently contributed to Matt’s fund raiser I have been thinking about how this list is worth the money to me. Here are a few of the items that came to mind that directly resulted from this list.
I flew the 300 miles to Pennsylvania 3 times. GREAT trips that I will remember forever. Thanks to Terry for setting up the fly-ins to Homer’s farm where I met all the great Kolb flyers. I especially liked meeting Homer Kolb, John Hauck and John Williamson. Also during these trips I attended the Shrevesport North fly-ins which are very well attended and they have a great campground.
There is nothing like flying out of Smoketown airport and seeing Amish farmers plowing behind 6 horses.
Flying in formation with 8 or 9 other Kolbs. Wow, what people on the ground must have thought.
Speaking of great flying places to relocate, I would think about Pennsylvania. Those people sure are nice.
I also get tons of good info on everything from engine maintenance to VGs, and elevator reinforcements. How many lives does this list save each year? I’ll bet it’s more than 2.
I get to see pictures of other Kolb trips. Monument valley, Alaska, Idaho. Where else do you get these?
I’ll be rebuilding my windshield with inspiration from PlaneCrazy’s windshield. I wish I could weld aluminum like that but I can’t so I’ll do what I can.
How many guys are sad for Paul Petty having to sell his Kolbra? Me too.
I could sure use a Beauford story about now.
P.S. Also with my contribution I am getting the Rotax DVD gift. That looks like it might be pretty good.
P.P.S. Regarding the recent bad stuff on the list. This seems to happen every fall/winter. Maybe people are not getting their flying fix. I know I’m not getting mine.
