Hi Folks:



For those that have not seen this before, and may be interested in cross 

country flights in Kolb aircraft, my Son, Mike, has initially uploaded this 

old web page of my 1994 flight around the border of the US with a dog leg to 

Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.



This is a copy of the articles in the EAA Experimenter Mag, May, June, July, 

August 1995.  The magazine articles are available to read on line at the EAA 

web site.



This web page is not completely without a few bugs.



This is the first page:



http://webpages.charter.net/kawasaki1/Hauck/hauck94.htm



The four URLs at the bottom of the first page work.  The others do not.



Below are the four URLs for each of four parts.

This is Part 1:



http://webpages.charter.net/kawasaki1/Hauck/hauck94a.htm



Part 2:



http://webpages.charter.net/kawasaki1/Hauck/hauck94b.htm



Part 3:



http://webpages.charter.net/kawasaki1/Hauck/hauck94c.htm



Part 4:

Thanks for the entertainment. You could charge for this . Its a great read , 

Its also gives some insight into the capability of the little planes we fly. 

They are much more capable than many would think,also much safer than many 

give them credit for .

The MK111c is a very good flying machine that most of us do not fly close to 

its limitations. My own limitations are far less than the MK111s  . You have 

a great way with words,never over stating a situation but giving enough 

information so others that have enjoyed the same environment can visualize 

some of the situations you found yourself in and appreciate the skill that 

goes with the safe out come of your adventures. I bet some of  those close 

to you think you are a bad boy. Keep it up . You serve as a inspiration to 

the young uns considering taking up our sport  .

Brother John:

 

Some highly enjoyable reading...   Thanks for putting it up on the List...

 

After this inspiration, hell, I might even plan an EIGHTY mile XC in the Kleenex Kolb...

 

..will need to lay-in some MRE's and stash some gas along the route first..

 How many MRE's do you think it will  take to make an 80 mile cross country?

  

 I need to find some fresh ones.   Do you know if the Commissary still sells them?

Thanks, Tony:



My family tried to talk me out of every Alaska flight, but knew what the 

outcome was going to be.



At 71, they are not real excited about me making the annual flight West, but 

realize I will continue to do them as long as they continue to be fun.  When 

the fun flying is gone, I'll find another way to get out West.



Yes, we have a good little airplane, one of the reasons I chose to make my 

long flights in a Kolb.  Will never forget the guy at an airport somewhere 

in South Carolina, where I landed to get fuel.  This was during the 1994 

flight around the country, and I had about three days of flying left before 

I got back to Alabama.  I taxied up to the gas pump and got out.  He came up 

to the airplane and asked where I was from.  I told him Alabama.  He said, 

"You flew that thing all the way from there?"  My reply was yes, I had flown 

it all the way from Alabama, but I did not tell him about the other 38 days 

and 16,000+ miles I had flown getting from Alabama to South Carolina.

If I recall correctly didn't you fly your ultrastar around the perimeter of the lower 48 John?  Great reading about your Alaska trip by the way.

Hi Kirk S/Gang:



That would have been one hell'uva flight.  No, never did that.  Longest 

flight in the Ultrastar was 600 miles round trip, and a hand full of 500 

mile round trips.



Flew in all the States east of the Mississippi in the Firestar and a few 

states west of the Big Muddy, for a total of 32, or it may have been 36. 

Can not remember for sure now.  Been more than 20 years ago.



The MKIII has flown in 49 States, most of Canada, and across the Mexican 

Border without landing.



Thinking about those flights makes me tired.

 Dana/Gang:

  

 Way back in 1984, when I built and  started flying my Ultrastar, I made myself a commitment to fly my  airplanes.  That is what I have done for the past 26 years.  I get  that question at every flyin, "Did you trailer your airplane here?"  My  standard answer is, "No, I built it to fly, not trailer."  The only time it  gets trailered is when I break it bad enough to require taking it home to  repair.

  

 Flyin in the 50th State is out of the  question because I can not get enough range to make it to Hawaii.   ;-(

 I wish I could say the same.  Perhaps when I'm retired...



 But thanks for posting the story.  One of the best flying reads I've seen in awhile.

Brother John....

 I would reckon about two MRE's a day... they are close to 3,000 calories per, you know... in the Kleenex Kolb, that would mean six rations for the 160 mile round trip...   plus the gin.... and the stogies.. and the 40 gallons of gas...   the tents...the TV, fridge, cots and the generator... might take two support vehicles...

  

 Yes , the commissary still sells MRE's... was in there at MacDill this afternoon...they are $7.12 a ration.

 Most of the good ones were picked over...luckily, plenty of tuna casserole left, though... Maxwell ought to have a good selection...

 Glad you enjoyed the article.

  

 How many MRE's do you think it will take to make an 80 mile cross country?

  

 I need to find some fresh ones.  Do you know if the Commissary still sells them?
