Thanks to everyone who attended the TCFG Fly-In at Willow Run Airport and m
ade it such a special event. We had an awesome time and are still wearing
big smiles from the memories!! Couldn't ask for a greater group of people
to spend a few days with telling stories, laughing and talking Commanders.
We'll let Moe tell you about a special pair of boots he received/won at au
ction for being such a "kick ass pilot"
A big thank you to the group of attendees for your generosity in raising ov
er $2,000 for the Blue Goose restoration!! WOW!!!
If you've never attended you really need to make it a priority to come next
year and meet some of these incredible people. You're guaranteed to have a
great time. BTW. we're taking suggestions on where to have the event nex
t year -- some suggested venues include the Washington DC area, Branson, MO
, and Colorado Springs.

| Subject: | GO-435 troubles... |
Hi.
My left engine did not develop full power on my way out of Chicago to get to the
fly-in and I had to abort, which was really sad after have come all the way
from California to join you for the first time. I was devastated. Anyway, two
cylinders were down and after I finally found a guy to pull them on the field
he saw stuff he didn't like and he wouldn't sign off on just repairing the cylinders.
The oil ring had disintegrated and they found metal in the engine. Now,
he might be "overreacting", having never worked on Commanders or old engines
before, or he might have a point. Nevertheless, regardless of which I'm in a
bad pickle - aircraft stuck 1800 miles away from home on an executive field with
mostly big jets and the parking pricing of Signature and Atlantic...
I have JimBob and Morris with the ear to the ground and trying to find a solution
for me and I'm very grateful for that. But I thought I'd consult the board
as well - does anyone know of any GO-435's in decent shape, or known to fly, with
papers, or no papers, that could eventually be for sale anywhere reasonably?
I need to resolve my situation and get her back home. I fear this could take
months and months again if I don't act swiftly and the parking at $30/day will
ruin me...
I'm very disheartened at the moment.
