Hey Guys,
If it is any consulation to the folks that drove to the Gathering it took me 22
hours and 10 minutes to get home. Most of the trip was good flying at 9500
above the clouds until The weather radio near the PA. Maryland boarder should
IFRat all the reporting stations ahead. I dropped down through a big hole and
went on with only 2 mountain ridges to cross until I would have had all
unobstructed valley to travel. That was not to be. I ended up hopping about 25
to 30 miles at a time every couple hours until I ran out of daylight and laded
at Deck in Myerstown Pa. 50 miles from home. I slept on the floor over night
in the office and got up around 6 am and headed home over another fog deck
under the blid faith that the report at the home base was correct and it was -
at about 4 miles out it opened up to about a 10 mile hole and a nice clear shot
at the airport. Total flight time ended up bieng 5 hours and 30minutes with
over an hour of that being turning around and going the wrong way a lot and 4
new airports visited and 7 total.
At the local club meeting last night a reprsentative from swift fuel did a
presentation and I took a lot of notes. I'll post more on that when work is not
in the way latter to day.
Joe Horton,
Coopersburg, Pa.
