Heading back home....to Fairbanks, Alaska

Uhaul truck finally packed, and heading back home to Fairbanks, Ak. Only this trip, I had the challenge of packing up N854TW. Took two days of carefull packing. Pictures to follow, on my journey, of 4,000 miles. The possiblities of equiping with skils when done with the project, now fill my head...

Hmmmm, can't wait to see the pictures, particularly since the registration info on N854TW lists it as a 727 http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N854TW.html. Would love to see it on skis

Mike.....Thanks for the information. Looked it up, and apparently the 727 was deregistered in the late 90's. As I am sure you know, my N number is reserved at this point.

You need to look here..... http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinqu...umbertxt=854TW for correct info on N numbers.

Welcome home Terry!

How long have you been outside?

I'll make a shameless plug for you to join (or maybe re-join?) EAA Chapter 1129: We have one member that has finished an RV 8 but he sold it. And there are a few other RV builders in town. The most active project that I know of is a 9A that is currently being wired. I'm hoping to get back to work on my 7 when it gets cold again, pending the outcome of the shop/garage heating & insulation project that I'm working on now.

Let me know if you need help unloading when you get here.
