I simply won't have enoughvacation time saved up by July to do it the way I'd like. What I'mthinking now is that I may need to move the airplane up there in stages.First stage would be to fly up to Oklahoma some weekend this summer andleave the airplane with a 'friendly' somewhere. Fly commercial back toSan Antonio. Flying commercial would mean I'd need to find a place around Tulsa probably, where I could park "Scout" for a couple of weekendsand still have good commercial connections.Next leg would involve flying commercial back to OK and then flying Scoutto the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area over a weekend... I have friends there butnobody with a hangar (yet). Best choice would be Marion Airport (C-17),Iowa. Anybody near there have a place I could stash a Piet for a few weeksthis summer?I could catch a commercial flight out of Cedar Rapids back to San Antonioand then sit it out until the weekend of Brodhead, when I'd flycommercial back out and then make my triumphal entry into the hallowedBrodhead airspace in 41CC for the weekend. I have no idea how I'd everget the airplane back, but what the heck- maybe I could sell it at Brodheadand be done with this low and slow business ;o) It's a lot of trigger-workbut I don't know how else I can do it. My wife and I have worked outthis understanding where I can play with airplanes as long as I take heron trips every couple of months, so that's been burning up my vacationtime from work. Wish I could retire ;o)And for what it's worth, I only weigh 155 lbs. but it sure doesn't seem tobe getting me anywhere in life to keep my weight, cholesterol, and bloodpressure where the doc says they should be. I should just get me a littlecabana on a beach in Belize, build me a cheap Air Camper out of hardwarestore stuff, and sit back on the beach, drink beer and eat fried calamariand forget about doctors and medicals from now on. Take a sunset flightin my junker Camper every now and then and never worry about feds, docs,or the IRS.do not archiveOscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________

Jim - I actually made it to southern KS last year on Day 1, though the intendedstopover was vicinity OKC. If you're serious, we can go via Pryor this year. It's not out of the way. Shelleyshould be making the trip with me by car this time (solo last year on theway up, she was with me on the way back). If your friend is okay with me landingthere we'd probably buy you guys dinner & reebs. We're set up to camp sowe're self-sustaining.Have you met Shelley? Oh, heck, we've never met in person, have we! Well, wecan fix that. All contingent on the valve-eating, crank-snapping corvair behaving, and not gettingscrewed by work!--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 18:52:03 -0800
