Guys,
Been kind of lurking here only reading the digest of this new list.
I have about 8 hours in L-39s teaching formation (a while back)
I have 2 flights (:30 each in the back seat) in L-29s, one with the standard
engine and one with the J-12.
I prefer the L-29 with the J-12 in it.
I really do honest to God like the L-29's looks better than the L-39. (Yea
I'm the jock in high school who took a girl with buck teeth, a crooked eye,
slightly over weight, to my senior prom, but what can I say?)
Markets go up and down so will the price of L-29s AND L-39s. In the end its
all relative isn't it? There is no shame in this.
Your west coast fly-in is a good idea. But you guys on the east side can do
the very same thing. All it takes is one of you to think up a good spot to
go to.
I know some of you on this list belong to RPA and are familiar with AYS
(Waycross GA). That would be an excellent place for a get together because it
just about dead center in the south east region of the US. But there are other
places. What about UIN Quincy, IL, NE of St Louis? Big warbird restorer
there, nice big runways, plenty of room on and around the airport.
Brain storm it. These get together's are the best ways to work out problems
with and about your airplanes. There are many ways to skin a cat as there
are cat skinners, you just need to meet all the cat skinners, same with
airplanes. Airplanes fly by the same laws of physics but how does one approach
those laws? Which ways are best? Believe me gentlemen 99% of the time it is
matter of personal taste.
Do I own a L-29? No, but I'm a retired airline guy who's just lost his
retirement and may not be able to keep what I've got. Count your blessings.

Pappy, you sly dog, I didnt know you were lurking out here. Waycross
would be a great place, unfortunately there are scant few 29's in this
part of the country. I've been wanting to host a flyin out of X35
(Dunellon, FL) since they have the cheapest Jet-A in the area, and the
Yankee AF there would be very agreeable to letting us use their
facilities. I've wanted to host an RPA venue there also.
