Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Postby M6RV6 » Tue Feb 23, 2010 2:15 pm

Looks like I have made a deal on a 195 in Tampa. =D> =D>
We are going to fly down on the 28th and hopefully start back on the 1st of March if all is as stated. [-o<
Will be heading west towards Guyman OK and then on to Nevada. Going to stop and see if I can find GUMPS hiding place. :roll:
Then head north to eastern Washington State. :mrgreen:
If anyone has a bed, couch, hangar floor, or a recommendation sure would like to hear! [-o<
The 195 is fairly thirsty so if I can find Cheap gas or Auto fuel along the way would be great. =D>
Have new camera so would like to take some pix :shock:
Thanks All.

George, That is great that you are back in the saddle again. If weather has you needing to go north, before west, stop in Ohio. We will feed you and put you and the bird up for a night or two. jg

George,
Glad to hear you're "back in the saddle". Buzz us if you get this far North.... Hanson on the Great Falls Sectional. Cabin Creek (just a couple miles away) has the cheapest fuel around.

You have my #, call anytime... Congrats on the new 195... =D>

Watch out George. Meeting Coyote someplace might get exciting in a C-195??? jg

Thanks to All
Will be on the plane in the morning headed SE, should get there around midnight!
If possible I'll try and get a couple of pixs of the new 195 when I get down there and see if I can get them posted.
Again thanks all for the # and invitations, hope I can hook up with a few of you this trip!

Sounds like a hell of a transcontinental trip. You don't by chance have a SPOT do you? :mrgreen:

Godspeed and be safe.

GT asked me to get the images posted. The ones he emailed were small too, so these are straight from his gallery here.
