They usually have everything under the sun. Unfortunately, most things don't sell for "dirt cheap", due ot the high exposure, but at least you can often find what you are after.

Damn sure it isn't because I didn't care!! The fact is, I was SO SAD it, and it upset me very much!!! (Still does!) I had just met John W., John H., Larry C. & his wife, Mike & his wife, and Dan, a few days earlier at Monument Valley. I still find it difficult to get my mind around the fact that John W is gone!! My sincerest simpathies to the Wiiliamson family. I know we all have lost a good friend. My simpathies also extend to John H, Larry and Roger, for the unimmaginable horror they faced trying to help their close friend. May I ask that each and every one of you double check your preflight list, and make sure your aircraft in tip-top shape? Also, be careful and fly as safe as you can. Many people are counting on you (us all) to do the best we can, and be safe doing it. I still shake my head in disbelief!!!!

From: "John Williamson" For all those who want to know John's services are to be held Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 11:00am Visitation, 12:00pm Service at Moore & Sons Funeral Home South Bowen Chapel. Interment will be at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery at 2:00pm. I wish to thank all of you for you kind thoughts and words. It has meant so much to me to find out how many people John has touched. I am proud to know that others found in him what I found the first time we met: what caught my eye and stole my heart, the friendliest, most generous kind hearted person to know. I will share with you I sent to John Hauck: We met Friday, May 13th 1977. I was out on a date with another guy and he couldn't go to a class fish fry with me the next day so he told me to ask one of the guys he introduced me to. I asked John and he showed up 1 1/2 hours earlier then I told him to. He talked with my dad the whole time. Dad instantly liked him. The next day he came to my graduation. We dated the next 3 nights. He went out in the field came back the next Tuesday. On Wednesday we had a date, came back to my home and set in his truck talking. It was this moment that he told me that he thought that he would never find a woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with but now he had. This was the night that he asked me to marry him. I was 17 he was 27. We married the day after I turned 18 and a week before he turned 28, July 25, 1977. My sister-in-law Grace asked about this and after going over the dates and time frame it stuck me that he had asked me to marry him on the 25th. So that day has double meaning to me: the day that the man that I would grow to love and worship ask me to be his wife and the day 31 years later would be that God chose to make him my angel to watch over me. Many people told me I was an airplane pilots widow but in return I would state that no I was a pilots wife who backs her mans joy of flying and would do nothing to block or hinder that joy he found in the air soaring on the winds in the seat behind the control or the aircraft that carried him to that height. I knew when I met him what he was and the dangers that could be involved but did not stop me from becoming his soul mate. John and I had 31 wonderful, joyful years together and I would not trade that for anything in the world. Again thank all of you for your support and being a part of his many flying adventures. The young man he considered his grandson stated that: Now Grandpa John can fly in his airplane always. This is from an 8 year old.

I purchased property near Lake of the Ozarks last winter. 3 arce parcel 1/4 mile from the local airport. I've been a contractor for over 30 years, and will build "one last time". First the shop/hangar for all the household stuff & airplanes, and then I'll build the house. Although my wife doesn't see the need for it, I am carting my Kolb MkIII with me!! I plan on spending every hour working on the MkIII that I'm not busy working on the shop. I'm not exactly "moving" just yet, only building the shop first. I've loaded the MkIII on a trailer, along with all my shop tools, and most of my construction tools. The plan is to leave this Sunday early in the morning, in my fully loaded F450 flat bed, pulling the trailer (Kolb). I may need a co-signer for the diesel purchases. There were several guys I was corresponding with about my upcoming venture. If you guys are in the area (Lake of the Ozarks), stop by and say "Howdy". I MAY not have much internet access for quite awhile........???

My acreage is listed (anyone want a 4000' custom house with hangar and runway on 40 acres in Nebraska?) and have been searching LOTO for a business to start or buy. Sent in an app for Camdenton Schools as well. Ideally I'll be rehabbing lake front houses there instead. You're welcome to stop here if the need arises and it's on the way. J.D.

Made a few more miles, then put down by high wind at Neosho, MO. It was 20 gusting to 35 mph when I landed. Always a lot of fun trying to land in those conditions. Luckily, the wind was blowing right out of the south and aligned with the runway. Since I RON'd here last year, and the year before that, Neosho has a new FBO. Same airport manager who gave me the keys to the courtesy car and permission to sleep in the pilots lounge tonight. Hope to make it home tomorrow, abot 580 miles. This has been a long drawn out fight from Oregon.
