Someone snapped this pic of me departing the other day in the Beech jet. Now that I see what I look like, maybe I could assist hay drying by the exhaust heat curing method! lol

Hey Capt'n I heard on the snewz that the thruway is closed near you from the storm, how"d you escape? Nice looking lineup! ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

| Lou we baled 550 of second cutting the day before before Irene arrived, got the hurricane and flooded roads everywhere sunday. I got a trip to West Palm monday morning out of nowheres. Took me 5 hours to drive to and from the airport! But I flew 7 folks to West Palm Beach and back in 5 hours! So I flew 2400 nautical miles in the same time as I drove 100 statute miles! Unreal!!

Cap'n, Where is your 5 man crew to put up all that hay when it's ready? Even with that kicker, you need 2 in the mow and 1 to unload the wagon. I have operated a 17 an 170 and a 175 so I need experience running the hay dryer. Nice line-up there. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

We drove I90 last Friday - it was partly sunny and nothing like it must have been Sunday. Good thing you're on high ground, Dana. There are some folks down low who are still mighty wet, though. ------------- WC, CA, D14, WD45 |

| Hee hee... I flew right-seat in our Premier from MLI to Orlando in less time than it'd take to drive from Davenport to DesMoines. Jeff (corp pilot) wouldn't let me request a vertical departure vector. <sigh> what a spoilsport! |
