| Subject: | Re: John Williamson |
I had communicated a little with John about flying the Butterfield Trail
this Fall. I feel very fortunate that I got to meet him at MV.
Immediately liked him. What a generous person. - with all the flying he
had done to get there and all the rest he had planned - he still was
more than happy to go up to photograph me flying around MV. He gave so
much to us and our sport that it seems everything has changed now. He
will be greatly missed. From the little I knew him, however, I'm sure
he is up there wishing us the best and wanting us to continue building
on the legacy he gave us. Godspeed to you, John

Hi Gang:
Miss P'fer and I landed at Gantt International Airport about 3 hours ago.
After making 5 missed approaches, the two jack asses, that were standing
face to face about 10 feet apart and midfield, finally decided to saunter
off the strip so I could land on my 6th attempt. Came so close to them
thought I was going to hit them, but they never flinched or changed their
position.
Must say it is good to be home safe and sound. Was a very long flight, 5
days duration, from the time I left Larry and Karen Cottrell's in SE Oregon
until I arrive home.
Been 19 days, 5,029.0 sm, 65.8 hours, since I took off for MV on 13 May
2005. Haven't added up the fuel burn yet, but if you multiply 65.8 X 5.6
GPH you will probably come pretty close to what was actually pumped into the
tank. I ran hard most of the way, minimum cruise 5,200 rpm and above. No
engine oil was required during the flight. The mkIII and 912ULS performed
flawlessly as expected. I am very proud of both. Proud the little airplane
worked so hard to carry me to some beautiful and exciting places in our
country. Glad I could share so much time with my wingman, John W. We had
the best flight yet, despite the weather problems we encountered. I can
assure you we were living out our dream and living life to the fullest.
Thanks for all the notes. I tried to answer most of them when I got
weathered in, but may have missed a few. If I did, please forgive me. It
was not intentional.
John W's funeral is Tuesday. I am not physically or emotionally capable of
attending the service in Arlington, TX, but I can assure you I will be there
in spirit. John W's Sister, Grace, told me I would be an Honorary Pall
Bearer, an honor I am very proud to have.
Take care,
john h

Here some brand new altimeters that are not expensive in aviation terms.

some of the digital ones are pretty good from what I can tell.

Russ,
May I suggest eBay? 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. Here's an example:

John...
good to hear you are home. Yes animals on the runway can be a problem...My
grandson Kendall and I sometimes have to make the deer get out of the way on
the east end of our runway...but they move out of the way better than a jack
ass would...Our thoughts have been with you and also will be with John W at
his funeral. Thanks for keeping the group informed.

Gang,
I am considering buying a top overhaul kit which includes pistons ,
rings, pins, circlips, and all gaskets off of e-bay from Will waynes store
OR
Jakdistributors. Has anyone on the list ever USED or had
any FIRST HAND experiences with these pistons from either of these two
sources?

Kolb guys,
I WAS headed out in the morning, headed to Missouri. I've got my trailer loaded
with the MkIII and a lot of construction tools in the truck (Ford F450).
I was "ready to roll out!!"
I thought I'd do a quick practice run around the block, just to make sure everything
was tied down good. Fired up the truck put it in "drive"....and could
barely move forward!!! I went ahead and pulled out of the driveway and tried
to go around the block, but when I got to a slight incline......no go!!
I thought it might be just low on tranny fluid...so I added a few quarts (takes
17.5). Nothing!!
Before this crud popped up, I've never ever had any indication of ANY mechanical
problems, transmission or otherwise. It only has 48,000 miles on it.
My apologies for this not being very Kolb-like, but you guys ARE the smartest
guys I know.
Anyone with any automatic transmission knowledge?? I'd sure appreciate your
opinions off-list.

PS. Scott, looks like I'll have time to send those photos you asked for...tomorrow.
