The dates for this years Red Bull air races are now online (at) Red Bull Air Race 2007 .

 There is a race scheduled for Monument Valley on May 12. I'm not sure of the date you folks had planned for the Kolb fly-in out there but thought I would pass this on.

Thanks Scott,



I may get there a week early to watch the Red  Bull Race.  Never seen 

one before and may never get another chance to see one.



Looks like the Red Bull will not interfere with our get together.

John, if you're going to be there that long, you might want to check with Lorenz Tours, up behind the campground.  The reservations desk can give you his phone #, and you might enjoy the ATV tour that my cousin and I went on last year.  Lorenz gave a good value, but make sure you take your own water and snacks.                              Lar.                     Do not Archive.

Hi John,

its an experience. Flat out low level racing with mandatory airobatics 

thrown in.  We had one last year about 10 miles from home. The race day 

produced totally useless Wx. It was obvious from 7 in the morning that there 

was going to be no racing. Johnny Public didn`t know that and drove to the 

race site in their thousands, arrived and found no racing and drove home 

into the face of the still arriving crowds. Chaos on all roads for 10 miles 

around because the organisers ddidn`t actually announce `No Racing` until 

about 4 in the afternoon.



I saw a bit of the pre race practice day because the pilots were using a 

small field which I occasionally land at, to keep their planes away from the 

race site, a Stately Home called Longleat.

I have often looked at that main drive leading to the house with longing 

when I have flown across Longleat. Its a bit narrow but just asking to be 

landed on.



Lord Bath,  who owns Longleat is a little eccentric and  used to have a 

weight shift ultralight which rumour has it, he used to keep chained up at 

the back door like a dog.  I never heard that he actually flew it.



Eccentric or not he obviously has something as he has several mistresses, 

whom he calls `wifelets,` stashed away in various cottages on the Estate. 

Also a wife in France!



See you at MV John.



Cheers



Pat

That "something" is probably called "money".

Hi Dana,

 that always helps but he is quite a character also. His father, the Duke of 

something or other started one of the first Safari Parks in England. 

Longleat Estate had been savaged by having to pay two lots of Death Duties 

in quick succession and this was a means of making money for the estate. He 

brought in lions, gorillas, giraffes etc and charged for entrance. When the 

old man died to everyones horror he left the estate to his youngest son, the 

present Lord Bath, who everyone considered to be a nutcase.  In fact his 

streak of eccentricity has turned to showmanship and he has made a much 

better job of running the estate than anyone thought possible.

The estate selling slogan for the Safari Park was `Have you seen the Lions 

of Longleat`  The present Lord Bath, with the wifelets, refers to himself as 

the` loins of Longleat`



Cheers



Pat

Cool, having eccentric people like that around makes life more 

interesting.  (I'm just weird; I don't have enough money to be eccentric).
