Greetings,

  

 My FireStar is ready to do the flight to Monument Valley, it has been  flying missions for the last week.

 I will be departing Friday morning and will try to make it in one  day.

 Regards,

 Will Uribe

Will:

  

 No sweat on the helicopter.  I didn't see any guns or  rockets.  

  

 Got a call from Arty Trost this afternoon.  She and Randy  Simpson will be departing Lakeland in the morning headed to Monument  Valley.

  

 I plan to leave here Tue, 12 May.  Will marry up with  three mkIII's and a J5 Cub at Sherman, TX, first night out.  From there we  will fly to Los Lunas, NM, to Mike Marker's, RON, and fly the rest of the way  into MV Thursday morning.  Should be there some time after lunch if we  decide to eat lunch in Gallup.  If Ken Kenorek can get off work, he  will fly his Titan and meet up at Sherman.  That will be one hell'uva  gaggle of little airplanes.  We did 4 mkIII's and a Kolbra in 2005 on the  Kitty Hawk/Kolb Homecoming Flight.  Kip L met us in Milledgeville, GA, but  had to go back to work instead of horse around with the good ole  boys.

  

 Should be a good group of aircraft at MV if everyone that  plans to be there makes it.

  

 The flight to Lakeland, four nights in the tent, was a good  shake down for me, the mkIII, and my requirements to live out of the  airplane.  Looking forward to the flight West.

is there an airport that seems to attract all these unofficial Kolbs? This will be my first time. I would hate to miss the festivities.

Be looking forward to seeing you at Monument Valley.



Biggest festivity we have is sitting under the wing of someone's Kolb 

telling lies and gourging ourselves up at the Gouldings Restaurant.



Once in a while we get out and fly around the monuments, especially the new 

guys.

John,

   The wife wants to know if she will be the only girl there?I suggested she bake a batch of her toll house cookies,to share and that would pretty much guarantee her plenty of company.She said thats not what she meant! But I will keep working on the cookie angle just in case.Hope to see you all about the 14th .

 No, your wife will not be the only girl there.  In  addition to Arty, who is flying in, there will be other girls there.   She'll most likely have plenty company.

  

 My assumption is based on the past flyins.

  

 Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Let's be careful with our wording.  Your wife will not be the only WOMAN there - there will be others of the female persuasion.:>)



I mention this because of a funny thing that happened when I was at Sun n Fun.  I was talking to a float plane pilot (whom I have never met, so he was just a voice on the phone.) He told me that if I met any girls, to send them over to the Splash In and he'd give them a free ride.



I'm busy promoting the Penelope Pilot Project, which encourages girls to spread their wings, hopefully through aviation but also in any other way. So when an excited 8 year old girl came to see me and my Drifter, I gave her parents the float pilot's invitation.



You can guess the ending to this story.  He called me that evening, saying that he is a single guy and he's looking for "girls" who are over 21 !!

I have that same issue.She will fly but only if there is a meal at the destination.We are spending a couple weeks of vacation in Utah and Colorado in our pickup camper,so I suggested we take the Kolb along and visit at MV.The Kolb trailer drafts the Camper fairly well after some mods to the trailer tongue so we'll try leaving Ohio around the 8th.It's about 1900 miles one way so we start early and sight see on the way.See you then!

She knows that,,,,  but her limit in the plane is around 2 hours…  if we break it into 2 days  (pause for effect)   she is not a wilderness camper.    My son and daughter in law are planning a trip to the Moab area  about the same time,,,  she is thinking about riding with them,,   was going to say,, still in the air for now,,, but maybe better say undecided for now.  It may depend on the weather forecast.

It sounds like a good turn out for Monument  Valley this  year wish I could make it again this year but it isn't going to happen. Be sure  to take your wives or better yet let them fly you around MV it is a experience  that is unforgettable. I hope every one has a great safe flyin this  year.

  

 Still haven't flown my Kolb since November. The flood waters  haven't receded from my runway yet even with a new county drain under  it. I did get a mercy flight in a nice smooth and quiet Jabiru  powered MKIIIC a few months ago.

I will be arriving with a woman, not my wife   

No, She's not my girlfriend, but an ultralight pilot from Mexico.  A wonderful person who shares our joy of aviation.  

Am planning on trailering up my helicopter, but if it's not ready, will fly the C175 up and take the local kids for a ride.

Yes, John, I know........

The Cessna is a big hit with the locals.  

Am looking forward to the fly-in, as you know, Will and I are the founders, and have the authority to control, and reject anyone who irritates us!
