Title: VSC plane ride needed
Post by: Randy Powell on December 25, 2011, 11:54:40 PM

Well, I have plane tickets to VSC this year and will be there. But I need a ride for my plane. So if anyone in the Northwest (say, Washington or Oregon) are planning to drive and has some space for a plane, I'd be obliged>

Thanks.

Thanks, Mark. If I can get the thing finished, I may build a crate for it and ship it Greyhound, but we'll have to see.

If I go, I will be driving, and there will be room for an extra plane,, as long as its house broken, I dont want it teaching my plane anyMORE bad habits,,

Hey, yours flies great. It has no bad habits - only the pilot. Be great if you can take it.

geez Randy, I keep telling myself its the plane, poof there goes my fantasy
sigh

oh well, more practice I guess,, ( though I still have yet to make test flights after my latest epipheny about trim and the adjustments, ,it may inspire more confidence so I can get below my 10 foot bottoms)

Don't feel bad Mark.  Ask Randy, all DOC's planes need a good pilot. LL~ LL~ LL~

Mark IS a good pilot. He's just a, ah, not quite fearless one. His Avenger is quite pretty.

Gordan,

No, I haven't called Pete yet. Good point. I don't know if he's driving, but I suspect he will be there. Thanks.

RANDY! RANDY! RANDY!  :! :! y1 y1

I haven't run this my brother in law...but his younger brother is a rather wealthy retired Electronics Corp. who sold his companies for mega-$$$$$.
HE OWNS A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED TURBO TWIN ENGINED CESSNA...AND IS A MEMBER OF MERCYFLIGHTS  
www.mercyflights.com
Hummm?
I wonder if we both could QUALIFY WITH MERCY FLIGHTS THAT WE BOTH ARE IN  DIRE CRITICAL NEED OF MENTAL & PHYSICAL TREATMENTS?Dave lives in a home with its own hanger attached that contains his two airplanes...on an Air strip just north of San Deigo.
He could fly up here to our Tacoma Narrows airport...PICK US UP AND BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ US BOTH TO VSC?

Shultzie,, really! what about me,, I certainly qualify as demented as Randy,, ( maybe not in your league but I am working on it) and considering both Randy and I built/are building an Avenger, that CERTAINLY should qualify us as in need of mercy flights to Tuscon,,
at least I think so,,
what about you Randy?

Title: Re: VSC plane ride needed
Post by: Randy Powell on December 29, 2011, 02:52:59 PM

Hmm..... Maybe I could cash in my plane ticket and hope the flight with Schultzie and his benefactor.... Don't worry, Mark, there would be room for your Avenger, too, I expect. Maybe not you physically......

Title: Re: VSC plane ride needed
Post by: Mark Scarborough on December 29, 2011, 05:14:32 PM

or you could just hop the ride and give me your plane ticket,,

I wanted to say thanks to Pete Peterson. He has graciously offered to haul my plane to VSC. Hey, I'm smiling. Now I just have to finish the thing.
