Kolb Airmen,
I'm just waiting for departure time to head to Monument Valley and points west
and have started a webpage link to other webpages of photos taken from a Kolb
vehicle or airplane.
Here is what I have so far:
http://home.attbi.com/~kolbrapilot/OtherKolbPhotos.htm
If you know of a link to similar pages or have one of your own, I would like to
include it in the list so everyone can enjoy the photos from the different parts
of the world.
This new page of links will be added to my website when I update it after returning
from this upcoming trip. I should get back to Texas on 30 May.

John W/Gang:
I'm about ready to head West also. Got some
little nit-picking things to do, load the plane,
gas it up, and go for it.
I'll probably depart here 15 May, unless it looks
like I will have headwind or weather problems. If
so, I'll leave 14 May, if I am ready (I should
be).
My first big stop will be Richard Harris's
airstrip in Lewisville, Arkansas, between El
Dorado and Texarkana. Hope to make about 600
miles the first day, get into Albuquerque, NM, the
second day, and Monument Valley, Utah, the third
day. Should be arriving MV on 17 or 18 May.
Have you pinned down your departure date?
I have lots of pictures from the 1994, 2000(as far
north as Muncho Lake, BC), and 2001, flights to
Alaska. Problem is they take lots of bandwidth to
keep loaded on a web page. If you have lots of
web space, would be glad to send you some of them
to post.
Also have pictures from my very early cross
country flights in the Firestar.
I am getting excited about the upcoming flight. I
really look forward to renewing old friendships
and making some new ones. My flight plan is in
the GPS which is in the airplane, but roughly, I
will be flying from Titus, Alabama, to:
Eutaw, AL
Lewisville, AR
Texarkana, TX
Wichita Falls, TX
Amarillo, TX
Santa Rosa, NM
Albuquerque, NM
Farmington, NM
Monument Valley, UT
After MV I plan to fly around the SW and some of
California, Nevada, and Utah. My general route of
flight back to Alabama will probably be the
southern route along I-8 and I-10. I've got some
buddies to visit in El Paso, San Antonio, then
shoot for Titus, AL.
Anybody along that flight line that is interested
in a short visit, let me know. Be glad to stop by
if it is not too far off my route of flight. I
always tell myself I am going to take my time and
really enjoy my flight, but when I get in my MK
III, point the nose towards my destination, I am
ready to make time. I don't spend much time on
the ground, although I land quite frequently. My
buddy John Williamson plans his flights with 4
hour legs. Mine are much shorter now days. With
a 64 year old bladder, in spite of all the saw
palmetto I take, I still have a one to two hour
bladder. I like landing and meeting the people
along my route of flight. Every place and
everybody is a little different, but we all share
a common cause of freedom for every individual and
support of our great country.
I finally got Miss P'fer a good bath and engine
gunking this morning over at the Weumpka AP.
Uneducated spam can driver comes out of the FBO
and hollers at me washing my airplane, "Where's
the rest of your airplane?" Oops! I don't like
those kind of comments. I told him I never got a
stupid, smart ass comment like that from anyone in
Canada or anywhere in Alaska during two flights up
there, only from dumb asses in the lower 48. He
got in his little Cherokee or whatever it was, and
left without saying a word or looking my way
again. I know I should have smiled and made some
cute comment, but sometimes they get my goat, and
I have responded before I realize it.
Take care,
john h

I have app. 60 hours on my reduction drive VW. I reworked the exhaust system
over the winter and changed the tach for one that is much more accurate.
With these changes I have the following to report. I'm getting 3400 RPM on
takeoff at 50 MPH and at low cruise 3200 RPM at 75MPH. At full throttle I'm
seeing app. 93 MPH at 3700 RPM. The MPH figures are all from GPS. It appears
that the muffler that I had on my 4 into 1 exhaust system was very
restrictive it is now without a muffler. The VW is now were I wanted it to
be and no other changes will be done to it for the time being.

If you want a muffler, (?) there is a Supertrapp VW muffler on e-bay right
now that if no one else bids up, I will get and see if I can adapt it to my
Honda 500 Thumper. I currently have a Supertrapp on my Suzuki 650 single,
and am very pleased, they are very simple to tune for whatever compromise
you want between noise and power, it made a great improvement over the
stock exhaust, and is only marginally louder, and then only at certain RPM's.
Since you are a Kolber, it's OK if you want it more than me, let me know,
and I won't bid against ya... <grin>

Well I may not be here Fort Huchuca when you get here.
It looks like (at the moment anyway according to the
Chief Pilot) that I may be up in Alaska for the
season. And way out in the bush :-(
I will be flying out of Kotzbue for the next six
months or more. So the Kolb may be sitting alone for a
while. Gotta go where the money is. Am kinda happy
that I get to work up there again, but aint happy
knowing where it will be, in the arm pit of AK. Been
wanting to fly around civilization for a change, but
no such luck. Anyway I'll know sometime next week for
sure.
