The I'm going out flying thread 2016

Sounds like that's probably going to happen this November. But that's a long way off. There is another club even closer to me that I was in for 15 years, but the runway is tiny and it's really full of fogs.

Man sounds like you're in between a rock and a hard place...that's really the greatest downside to being in a club. It only takes one or two a-holes to mess things up for everybody.

Yea, I flew yesterday at our field and spent an hour cleaning mud off my plane afterwards.

I haven't been flying for a while...between the crappy weather and work there just hasn't been time. I think this year I will make time especially while I'm in Little Rock to go fly in the middle of the week instead of just weekends....got club members who are retired that would love to meet me at the field...that's if they aren't scheduled to play golf....

I would love a 25 hour drive. If that's what I had I would go straight threw. I have 4 days 12-13 hours and a half day. We leave on Sunday May 3rd to get there by Thursday if we don't have any problems. Then I have to turn around and do it going home. It's a three week event for me and almost $3k in gas. But I love doing it every year:)
wow that is a haul! stop by and pick me up:D

Now that's what I call dedication... no ifs, ands or buts about it.

Dang crashflow you probably have to go south to Albuquerque New Mexico and catch Spats while he is coming through on I 40...

It's funny but I actually kind of like the drive. Seeing the country is nice and it's almost therapeutic getting to unwind on the drive. I take the southern rout on 20. Can't wait to catch up with everyone again.

It is therapeutic.. my wife and I have taken long motorcycle rides across country and you come to realize just how vast this nation we live in is and it's magnificent beauty. I've never been to Nall and it doesn't look like I will be able to make it this year either but next year may be a different story.

Yep, I try to fly in the middle of the week with the retired guys as well. Jack who lives in Maumelle is one of those retired guys that I enjoy flying with.
