Of any group, I'm betting that the folks on this list can certainly be
the most understanding of what it feels like to face a big airplane bill
JB. Just keep in mind that you really couldn't ask for a better
outcome. You had a big, high power engine that hauled your tail all
over the planet without complaint... it ran all the way to TBO (probably
well past calendar time) and then gave you a nice, non-emergency notice
that it had done it's job with pride and was ready to retire. Many
owners could only be so lucky.

Yes, my immediate instinct was "oh, no... not another one lost". Sad that it
happened, but glad it happened this way.
Premonition once save a friend's life. He had to takeoff one night off a
dark unlighted strip but wasn't comfortable and decided to go the next
morning. The next day was a beautiful day. After liftoff, his vacuum pump
failed...

Wow JimBob...
That's quite a story. I echo all the comments about your good fortune to have
sucessfully aborted a takeoff that could have ruined your whole day...and life.
We're glad you're alive and well to tell us about it.
Speaking of recent flying...I just returned from your neck of the woods. Spent
the last two days in Seattle on business, with very pleasant flights in my 680F
up and back from San Luis Obispo, CA (SBP). Weather was typical Pacific Northwest
(clouds, and more clouds) going up, and then gorgeous clear skies coming
back today...til reaching about 30 miles north of SBP where it was raining.
Now, that's unusual. Anyway, enjoyed the beautiful countryside, as usual, in
your area and the mountains were spectacular. The 680F ran like a top...fast
and comfy. What a way to travel...!!

Can someone please e-mail me Yoda's cell phone number? I have a question
about a Shrike he looked at awhile back.
Thanks,

Amen!! I already miss triple 2. I drove to OLY today. 2.5 hours each way.
It is 30 "commanderminutes" It will be a real bummer. I am formulating a
plan to get back in the air short of spending 30K for a fresh engine. Glad you
had a great ride. Stop in and see me sometime!! jb
