Yes, it is Carlton - the chapel building gives it away. Also, St. Olaf now has an absolutely humongous wind turbine at the edge of the campus. I was tin Northfield/Cannon Falls visiting a customer in late October.Kip GardnerOn Nov 27, 2009, at 8:52 AM, yocum137 wrote:>> Ah that must Carlton's campus - I looked at the google map of St. > Olaf and couldn't see a lake any where around.>>> Read this topic online here:>> http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Seaplane grommetsDate: Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:56:01 -0500

The first flying date I had with my wife-to-be was lunch at the 1500' msl airport on Catalina island, 26 miles ssw of Los Angeles. The airport was built by leveling the top of a hill that drops into the ocean on the east end...really drops. When we took off, I held the 172 close to the runway until the end of the pavement slid out from under us. The windows almost caved in when she sucked in her breath, which didn't help my already elevated pulse rate.(She still married me and we had 22 good years together.)Taking off from Grand Canyon airport to the north provides an even bigger heart thump...you don't even have to be at low level.Mike----- Original Message -----
