Hey Guys,This may ramble a little but try to follow along. First off I see I won the best firewall foreward. Cool - thank you. All the other award winners -- Congratulations- I noticed that Larry F. had flying rock stars sign the back of his seat (like Paul P. )A great idea but The way I see it is you guys that finished your KR's and won one of the awards from any of the years before or in the future are the ones that need to be autographing. I will be asking people to sign the back of my seat in 357CJ. Your my heros. I had a great trip even though i had to cut it short. I packed the fuel tanks full for the flight in both directions and made it easily without a stop. The plane and the engine performed flawlessly and for the first time I was wishing for some xm music to listen to.The total trip was 735 straight line each way total 1470 statue milesfuel going west was 23.2 gals with a 3-10 mph head wind for 3/4 of the trip. I took off an hour and 10 min before sunrise and logged some night time. Awesome sunrise from start to finish. most of the time was 8500 to 10500. Total time in route was 5 hrs 10 min.Fuel going east was 19.2 gal with about 2/3 of the trip with a tail wind in the 20 mph range. the last hour was into a head wind again of about 15mph so it don't all work out. Most of the trip was between 13,500 and 15,500 and then some. The total time in route was 4 hours and 20 min. Total miles 1470 Total fuel 42.4Total hours 9.5Average fuel burn 4.46 gphAverage miles per gal. 34.67Average ground speed 154.74 mph I was covering ground pretty fast across Ohio and just south of Pittsburg I tuned the radio to my home airport which is where i started my decent from 15,500. I heard a guy call into the pattern at UKT. I glanced down and breifly thought about calling my decent into the pattern --- Experimenal 357Charlie Juleit, 165miles west, decending through 15,500 will be entering downwind 29er, full stop -- Ok maybe it was just funny to me and the O2 wasn't set high enough.Thanks to everyone- proud to call all friends,and now I'm home sick,How many days till the next one,Joe Horton,Coopersburg, Pa. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- From: Brad Stone <bstone2...@yahoo.com> To: K Rnet kr...@mylist.net
