|
Paid a visit to the Kolb Command Trailer at Snf yesterday, accompanied by Ann Staub, whose late husband Skip was a Kolb list plankholder, and Mr. George T. Alexander, a distinguished Kolber.
We found the Kolb crew sunburned, dusty, but in good order and with high morale.
Things were just calming down after an afternoon of some concern over the whereabouts of Brother Hauck and his distinctive Mk III, who had abruptly vanished from the Kolb compound earlier. Travis told us that he and Bryan had spent several hours searching along the ditch at the west end of the strip and the woods at the other end, fearing the worst for John.
He said they had visions of him lying helpless in the mangled wreckage somewhere on Polk County.
They were greatly relieved when Brother Hauck telephoned from some point several hundred miles toward Alabama, saying that he had bugged out for home because he had a tip that there might be some questionable weather on the way. Travis said he he immediately called the FAA, Sheriff and Civil Air Patrol to stand-down the search operations. The sense of relief was palpable in the Kolb work spaces, but the tension was still evident... See attached pix...

Mother Nature won again. I got to spend the night on the couch in the FBO
at Headland Airport, Alabama.
The MKIII did well, as usual. Logged about 30 minutes of "rain time" before
I finally was able to weave my way around the thunderstorm cells and into
Headland. Headland was about 15 miles south of my route of flight. Folks
there were nice and let me stay in the FBO. Another took me to lunch today.
Made some new friends. Look forward to landing at Headland again sometime,
but not to spend the night.
With Sun and Fun behind us, it is time to start thinking about the flight to
Oregon and the Rock House Flyin the last week in June.
I have two carb boots that are starting to separate. First clue was black
streaks on the top of each intake manifold on the 912ULS. Engine is about 5
years old and 561.2 hours.
Sorry I missed you all.
