Re: AAA (Blakesburg) Fly In Sept. 2-7

Talked to a friend that had three airplanes there. He had gotten two of them “home” before the storm. The third (a J3) required duct tape patches to get it home. So did the Staggerwing :( The hail hit about midnight Sunday night.

Re: AAA (Blakesburg) Fly In Sept. 2-7

It's only a seven mile flight for me, and I decided to "pass" for today. Be down tomorrow...

When you join the Association, you’ll have access to the Document Library which has some info on this. :wink:

Re: Aircraft values

I can't believe they've gone up so much, and I'm glad I bought mine when I did. For the going prices I probably would have bought another model Cessna.

Re: Do I need to keep my VHF Nav?

Garmin makes the GI-275 round dial vs. G-5 square. Since my panel is original I plan to install it or the UAvionix AV-30 PFD. Pretty amazing for an old tail dragger!

Re: Financing vintage

I put a lien on my pickup at <3% for 48 months to finance my airplane. Easy as any other auto loan.

Re: Is nothing sacred.

"Farging Iceholes."

Reference to Michael Keaton movie Johnny Dangerously (1984). Good movie.
