I'll be sure to make it there before you head back up to New England.
Ok. I'm ready. Feeling real sick... if you all are going on Wed.

Ya know, if there was a decimal point in the middle of that, it might be for my plane.



Good Job Rosie

Default I can't wait to join this competition!

Oh this has got me seriously trying to figure out how to retire! BTW, Turbo - I may just have to check in to the RV Hotel :-) and as soon as I'm able, this RV B&B will be open ! Only problem is I'll have more space for planes than pilots :-)

Keep racking up the fun!

At the current price on the pump here in WA; 3,900 hours is a cool quarter of a million dollars.

However, something makes me think going forward the price of gas could possible go up......... over the next 5, 10, 15 years......



The RV is the cheap part.........

As Turbo said, let's us all know when you're coming thru Florida.
Right now, I'm writing this email while in Hope Town, Abacos in the Bahamas.
Of course with an adult cocktail.

that is a really scary thought. even though a lot of the flying was done when the price of avgas was $1.50. i remember my gas bill was about $8,000 for a years flying back then.

dan, whats your pleasure for a cold one in the islands? been in the 90's here. are you going to post a trip write up?
