I know it may seem like I am chomping at the bit on this. Unlike a lot of you that have reached retirement or have gained their independence in other ways, I have to pick/schedule the vacation in advance.
I have some unfinished business as far as attending the "Annual Informal MV Gathering". Headed that way in 2003, but made some dumb decisions and didn't make it. Going to make it a priority this year (1st vacation pick).
I'm going with the 3rd weekend in May (15, 16, and 17). Let me know if these need to be adjusted.
I plan to be off from May 12th to May 31st. If conditions are right, I may even head toward the Alvord, if JH wants my company and he is up to it. I know I can be a burden and a challenge at times.
Gonna work toward that goal. Gotta get plane and pilot in condition for that trip.
Wish all my Kolb friends a blessed and happy holiday season.

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for. |

John B/Gang:
Sounds good to me.
Mother's Day is 10 May.
Memorial Day Weekend is 23, 24, 25 May.
That makes the 2009 Unplanned/Unorganized Kolb Flyin Monument Valley 15,16,
17 May 2009.
Most of us get there on Thursday, the day before the official start of the
flyin. Takes me 2.5 days and 20 flight hours to get there from Alabama. I
usually depart on Tuesday morning and get there about noon Thursday. By
Sunday, we are loading airplanes and heading home or other exciting places.
John B will be more than welcome to fly with me to the Alvord. If we are
lucky, we may get Bruce Chaison to fly along with us. Three MKIIIs would
make a fine formation flight to the Rock House. That is if Larry and Karen
will let us land and mooch for a couple days.
John W and I missed landing at Winnemucca, NV, last year. That was the
first time we missed staying with one of my old SF buddies and his wife.
This year I plan on landing at Elko, NV, where Tony has moved, to spend the
night with them in their new house. From Elko, it is a hop skip and jump to
the Rock House.
That will give you plenty of time to make the return flight to Nauga Field,
LA.
We started this flyin at MV in May 2003. We have had a great flyin there
every year since. Look forward to another one next year.

Karen and I are looking forward to any and all of the Kolb pilots or even those flying other types as well. There is always room and food enough, as well as places to go and things to do. The only problem with the plan as I see it is that "a few days" generally isn't enough to get it all done. Plan a bit more generous stay. You see I generally don't have any one to play with, so you have to be a real jerk to not be welcome. 42 40.419 N 117 51.198 W - 2600 foot dirt runway, tiedowns for 6 airplanes.

> Larry C - thanks for the open invitation. Maybe you could come pass a
good time with us at Nauga Field in July. What do you make your Jambalya
with - Antelope meat? [Laughing]

John B/Gang:
That would really be a blast if we could get the whole gang together. Don't
forget Gary Haley too.

That should have been "headed that way in 2005".
I'll bump Bruce C on that. Maybe we'll meet up with you on your
first RON Tuesday night on the way there. Can you talk Steven G into
making the trip again? James T ought to be close with Mark III too.
That is if my little 80 hp won't slow you guys down too much.

Look forward to it.

Landing a plane and being married - a few smooth moments mixed with
a lot of rough ones.
