I returned 48 days later. 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.

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. john h mkIII/912ULS DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 02:18:56 PM PST US From: WhiskeyVictor36@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Third Anniversary Of Third Alaskan Flight In a message dated 6/26/2007 4:54:55 P.M.

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? http://www.grtavionics.com/images/M46_Fig1A.GIF -------- Paul Petty Kolbra #12 Ms Dixie Wating for final inspection and cert.
