OK... I haven't said anything just yet... I have been trying to setup a get
together.... Why.. because we can.. Where.. haven't figured that part out
just yet.. But just for kicks... How about a consensus:
When ? May is too soon.. June has Cameron Park, Golden West, Rocky
Mountain... July has Arlington and Oshkosh... Aug... Gets a little warm in
some areas but might work... or do we schedule something for the same
time frame as Arlington or Oshkosh... or do we wait for September, October
and head a little south...
Where ? Thoughts have been.. Stanley, Moab, Salmon.. somewhere there is
places for people to stay, eat, visit and more importantly.. FLY !!! I like
fly-outs...
Would enjoy hearing some thoughts... but I think it is time for an INFORMAL
fun gathering of Fox's
Please feel free to send me an email off list with your thoughts if you
wish.. but we are going to do something...
Have a Safe New Year !!

OK Guys,
I'm sitting here with my team in the lab, doing an "all-nighter" trying to
solve some really wierd glitches with a new machine that has to be demo'ed
by the CEO of the company, at a meeting between the Board and some new
investors, in the morning (about 4 hours away). To stop myself going nuts
I decided to have a break for a few minutes, and then took a look at the
KF list and noted all your exchanges re a rendevouz in Oregon, and saw
Allan Daniels' kind invitation to drop in at any time.
That got me to thinking (diversional therapy at this time of the night),
and decided that it would be a great idea to join you for the fly-in. I
have just done all the calcs and it should work out fine. If I do the
great circle path across the Pacific from sydney to LA, and then on to
Oregon where Allan is, thats just 12,570kms. If I average 85kts ( thats
153 km/h) it will take me 82:09hrs flying, plus 0:30hrs for
hold/diversion, so thats only 82:39 total time. At 16ltrs/hr, I only need
1336 ltrs (incl reserve). If I start with 98 ltrs in my two wing tanks, I
only need to store 1238 ltrs in the trailing tank (a new invention of mine
- somewhat like a giant bloated pig's hide with wings attached).
A couple of cans of Coke (OK, fruit juice, to please my health concious
wife), a few sandwiches, and I'll be set!
So Allan, if I leave next Saturday morning, should get there by the
following Wednesday. Make sure you've got the coffee on, around 11:00am.
OK?
Regards

Please don't make your plans public! I work for UPS
and they drive those double and triple trailors all
around. Since we are in contract negotiations, they
have been suspicially eyeing our aircraft for mods.
The AirBus's are exempt for having weak tails, but the
rest....
They are also considering putting deflectors on the
top of the cockpit to allow us to go into the wind
faster. Blink..blink
For real! 
On the other hand, we are trying to get the crew
sleeper option....

The trip back might be a problem though Colin due to the parts Id like you
to pick up for me.
