Morning Gang:
This morning, three years ago, I departed Gantt International Airport,
Alabama, for Leadville, Colorado, Point Barrow, Dead Horse, Kaktovik,
Alaska, and Tuktoyaktuk, North West Territory, Canada. I returned 48
days later.
For the benefit of the new folks on the Kolb List since that time,
here is a short article and some photos of that trip published in the
Alabama Aviator web page:

At the beginning of the article you will find "See photo gallery".

Good job John. Very impressive. I read theses articles from the Kolb and Ch
allenger list and it is easy to understand why these are my first two choic
es for an ultralight or kit plane. I learned to fly in a T Bird at the fact
ory in De Soto IA.LEBTFChuck

This in no way equals John's accomplishment, but 3 of our Trenton Flyers just
today reached Prudhoe Bay [sp], Alaska by motorcycles. They began approx. 40
days ago from Trenton, SC. Some of the locals at Prudhoe claim it's the
first Honda Goldwing they've ever seen there.
By the time they get back they will have covered over 14,000 miles.
Check out our website at _www.trentonflyers.com_
(http://www.trentonflyers.com) , then click on "trenton flyers Alaska" to view some gorgeous photo's of
the trip. More to follow.
Also, click on the "members" tab then "Robert Broadwell" to see maybe the
prettiest Kolb Mklll float plane
in existance.

Thanks for the info and photos. Always nice to go back to places I
have been through others pictures.
Nothing more exciting than driving or flying to Alaska. I'd like to
do that trip on a bike, I think, some day soon before I get to old for
the task.
I think one of your guys was riding a Suzuki V Strom DL-1000. I have
been looking at them recently. Seems like they may be the way to go
for an Alaska trip. The BMW GS1200 Adventure would be nice, but way
more than twice what the DL-1000 cost.
Also hope to do the Alaska flight again Summer 2009, to celebrate my
70th birthday. Got to get the old body in better shape to enjoy the
flight though. Takes a lot of energy and endurance to do an extremely
long flight in conditions normally encountered between here and
Barrow, AK.

Fellow Kolbers,
I could probbaly dig this up in the archives but the list is kinda slow and me
and Ms Dixie need to learn a little about each other. Learing the EIS is at the
top of the list right now. Sandy (great person) tells me today that my EIS has
16 pages of display information, this is about 14 pages more info than i need
or want at this point in the ball game. She said to call her when im sitting
in the airplane and we can disable up to 10 pages and set 2 pages up to display
the info i need/want. I dont have my notes near by or i could give more detail
but from memory the only AUX i used was for the coolant temp sensor. What
i have onboard Ms Dixie is as follows. RPM,coolant temp,fuel level, 2-cht's,
4 egt's oil temp ,oil pressure, voltage output. That is all i can think of right
now. My thinking is to have the main page display RPM/Coolant temp/Fuel level/CHT
(highest) on the top row and oil pressure/oil temp/egt (highest)/voltage
output on the bottom row.
as for the other six pages that cant be disabled which are pages 5-8-14-10 I can
use the favorite and "next" and previous to see what i want.
Sound like a plan guys/girls?
