I flew my 500 Shrike form Mich. to Santa Fe, NM for a week vacation with
my wife. I took a day trip up to San Francisco to visit my 94 year old
mother while my wife did her museum/art gallery b.s. in Santa Fe. I
stopped in Needles California for a fuel stop. Neat place and fuel was
very reasonable for 100LL at 3.25 a gallon.
Getting into San Francisco was very easy. I landed in San Jose (SQL)
rented a Hertz (on the field) at $32.99/ day and was in and out of the
city in 1 1/2 hours including a stop for Sushi.
Life is good when flying a twin commander.

HI KIDS.
I just returned from a nice flight in triple 2. Flew to Nampa
S67, for a couple of days to help a close friend annual his Skymaster.
Flew
home today (10.5 32 X 2550rpm = 157 KTIA, 177 KTS over the ground)
An old friend of mine has a great WW 2 museum and had a "Mustang
Invitational" event today. They had 5 Mustangs (Including "Ole
Yeller", RA Bob
Hoovers old mount, still painted in his livery), 2 P-40s, a Wildcat,
and a
Skyraider. They were flying rides all day long. It was so good to
hear those
things fly past. They even had a number of gals dressed on 40s cloths
(the seem
up their hose) Man, they sure looked good. I love the way women
dressed
back then, no wonder we had a "baby boom"!!
I was fortunate to depart right behind a flight of 4 P-51s!! What
fun.
Anybody else fly their Commander anywhere this week end?? jb

Hi JimBob,
My daughter & I flew an Angel Flight mission yesterday in our 680F. SBP
(San Luis Obispo, CA) to SAC (Sacramento Executive) to pick up 3 young kids
who are burn survivors. Then, we delivered them down to FAT
(Fresno-Yosemite) to attend a special summer camp for kids who have suffered
severe burns. As always, it is gratifying to volunteer to help these folks
with transportation. And, as always, the Commander performed
wonderfully...swallowed up all the sleeping bags and baggage and then hummed
along at190 knots true at 11500. A very pleasant way to spend a Saturday.
Regarding the California Fly-in...count me in..!! Along with John V.,
Marina is practically in my back yard, so I am available to help with set-up
and what-ever. Let me know what I can do.
Randy Dettmer

You all probably heard this before, but I tell everybody anyway:
There are three things that remain with a pilot when doing a wheels-up
landing: (in a low-wing, of course).
1. The momentary sense that this is a perfect landing as you sink through
the touch-down point.
2. The propellers that suddenly change into what might look like dry
arrangements.
3. The distance to the runway when you step off the wing.
Nico
PS. Jim, did you get my email about fixing the question marks in your
article?

HI KIDS.
Just to let everyone know. The 2005 Twin commander Flight
Group
flyin and convention will be held in Marina California (Near Monterey)
Sept
22-25 Thursday will be an arrival day and "Pizza Party" Tech.
Workshops and
Seminars begin Friday AM and are intended for the "boys" (everyone is
welcome)
The gals will join us for lunch and the afternoon will be spent having
fun
together seeing local attractions. I am planing a fly-out for Saturday
afternoon (maybe a poker run).
I have blocked 30 rooms and am talking with Enterprise rent a car
about
delivering cars to the airport. The meeting facility at Marina looks
great!
Sat evening awards banquet location TBA, but will probably be a

less formal that before and feature Mexican food (in keeping with the
location)
If you are interested in attending, let me know and I will forward
a
registration form. It will be a blast and there is always great
information
shared. Hope to see all of you there!!
