The rooms are clean, they have cable, pool etc. This is not for royalty but the tab is only $65/night + for geezers. It is about 15 miles of fairly light traffic from the gate. No breakfast but there is at least one of every known franchised eatery and boozatorium near by. I just made my own reservation for 14,15 and 16th. Let's meet at the end of the day at the Kolb trailer and get together for dinner.

Was looking through them and pulled a few to share. This is a June or July 1989 pic of the Kolb Farm. The large building on the right is the barn, or the Kolb Aircraft Company. The barn was built in the mid-1700's. The house, a couple years newer, but still built in the 1700's, is in the grove of trees to the immediate left. The "new" hanger is above the house. The 3000 ft grass strip is in the upper left. This is where it all began. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Kolb%20Farm%201989.jpg The gentleman that started it all, shown here in the 1985 Oshkosh Grand Champion UL at Sun and Fun 1989. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Homer%20Kolb%20S&F%201987.jpg This is flying. My first airplane, first flew July 1984. This was Winter 1984 or early 1985 at my airstrip which I had recently started leveling, lengthening, and widening. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/US%201984-1.jpg What a flyer! http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/US%201984-2.jpg My favorite picture of the Ultrastar. After flying helicopters in the Army, then flying nothing for 8 years, I foolishly taught myself to fly this fixed wing airplane from a 600 foot rough grass strip. P'fer, my Ultrastar, flew just like a rotary wing, but wouldn't hover. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Ultrastar%20Gant%20IAP%201984.jpg Just landed from Sun and Fun 1989. The pile of gear all goes inside Cuz'n P'fer, my Firestar. In addition, I carry 18 gal useable fuel, and start long cross country flights with 3 gal of oil on board, like 12 qts, plus my 185 lbs, and other items of equipment. No wonder I flew the wings off of it. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Gant%20IAP%201989.jpg Time for breakfast at Danville, NY, the morning Cuz'n P'fer and I departed The Flight Farm, Monterey, NY, on the way to OSH 1989. Those were the good old days, flying in front of a point ignition 447 Rotax, navigating with sectional and mag compass only. Did not know what a GPS was back then. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Danville,%20NY%201989.jpg Spent the first night out of The Flight Farm at Linden, MI. Before I crawled in my sleeping bag, in an old T hanger, the FBO lady loaned me her bike so I could ride to town in the morning for coffee and fresh pastries at a little shop a few miles from the airport. Boy, was that good. I landed at Linden, MI, again last July on the way to St Ignace, MI, to meet John Williamson and fly on to Scott Trask's at Iron Mountain, MI, and OSH. I was going to RON, but the place had drastically changed in the 14 years since I was last there. No more hangers. All had been bull dozed. The old FBO was still there, but I doubt it will be there long. Probably already gone. The price of progress and time. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Linden,%20MI%201989.jpg Cheboygan, MI, where I refueled and prepared for the long flight over The Makinac Straits by the Makinac Bridge. I started climbing well before I got to the water and had 5,000 feet altitude by midway. This stretch of water is about 5 miles wide. I figured if I had an engine out I could glide back to the south or north shore depending on which way the wind was blowing. I was glad when I set up for my approach into St Ignace, MI, airport. http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/airplanes/Cheboygan,%20MI%201989.jpg I was very fortunate to experience aviation at the very bottom level of grass roots, back in the 80's. I am grateful I had the opportunity to do that. I still enjoy my MK III, Miss P'fer, who has been faithfully flying me many different places over the last 12 years. Not as basic as the Firestar, but still pretty basic compared to most other aviation. Low and slow, in contact with the world I am flying over, able to land in tiny little airstrips, highways, and fields that most GA types would never think of landing, unless they had no other choice because of engine out or weather. I had a friend in Tolsona, Alaska, email me the other day when he found out I was flying back up that way this Summer. He asked is a 1,500 X 30 foot gravel pit, near his home, relatively smooth and packed, long enough to land the MK III. I grinned when I read that. :-) Take care, john h DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 09:24:21 PM PST US From: "Larry Bourne" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Kolb History --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" Thanks, John.
