Hi Gang:
Miss P'fer and I landed at Gantt International Airport about 3 hours ago.
After making 5 missed approaches, the two jack asses, that were standing
face to face about 10 feet apart and midfield, finally decided to saunter
off the strip so I could land on my 6th attempt. Came so close to them
thought I was going to hit them, but they never flinched or changed their
position.
Must say it is good to be home safe and sound. Was a very long flight, 5
days duration, from the time I left Larry and Karen Cottrell's in SE Oregon
until I arrive home.
Been 19 days, 5,029.0 sm, 65.8 hours, since I took off for MV on 13 May
2005. Haven't added up the fuel burn yet, but if you multiply 65.8 X 5.6
GPH you will probably come pretty close to what was actually pumped into the
tank. I ran hard most of the way, minimum cruise 5,200 rpm and above. No
engine oil was required during the flight. The mkIII and 912ULS performed
flawlessly as expected. I am very proud of both. Proud the little airplane
worked so hard to carry me to some beautiful and exciting places in our
country. Glad I could share so much time with my wingman, John W. We had
the best flight yet, despite the weather problems we encountered. I can
assure you we were living out our dream and living life to the fullest.
Thanks for all the notes. I tried to answer most of them when I got
weathered in, but may have missed a few. If I did, please forgive me. It
was not intentional.
John W's funeral is Tuesday. I am not physically or emotionally capable of
attending the service in Arlington, TX, but I can assure you I will be there
in spirit. John W's Sister, Grace, told me I would be an Honorary Pall
Bearer, an honor I am very proud to have.
Take care,
john h

John
Glad you had such a good trip, despite all.
Glad also those were Democrats on your runway -- Elephants are so
much bigger!
