Hi all,
Just got back from my trip to MV Amost got there! Even though I didn"t go all the way the trip was a good one.
Met three really nice people, Will Uribe, and Mike and Jan marker. stayed one night with each. Received good advice
from each of them. The weather was bad in south Texas Sun so I planed to trailer to El Paso and fly from there,
When I got to El Paso Will advised me to trailer on to Los Lunas, NM where I planed to meet and stay the night with
Mike and Jan They fed me and gave me a really confortable bed. The next morning Mike checked the weather for me
and said conditions were about as good as they were ever going to be, so I took off . The A/C preforming ok if not up to its usual standards.
All my flying is done from flat land where the average airport is 35 ft above sea level.I had some issues with DA and
a heavy air plane that I thought I understood , but really didn"t. to make my long story shorter, the end result was
that I drug a wing tip at St Johns , Az damaged my plane slightly and ended my trip.I did get in a few high alt landings--Grants--Gallup--Window rock--and a poor one at St Johns. Oh almost forgot at window rock airport I
had to walk to town to get fuel, while I was gone someone stole my radio.but they did leave my headset and gps.
Maybe next year will bring better luck for everyone .

PS--I belive my mishap at St Johns was caused by , nerves , heavy airplane , high DA , and lack of expereance in
flying at higher altitudes.

Frank got his first taste of real western Rockie flying.
I'll give him a hearty pat on the back. He has a true sense of adventure,
an attribute necessary for that type flying.
I am proud of you.

Hi Frank,
Glad to hear you are back home and resting.
There is always next year and if work doesn't get in the way I'll fly with you to MV.
