Subject: Re: Kolb-List: 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.

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 mkIII, 912ULS, 2,826.6 hours hauck's holler, alabama ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:47:00 PM PST US From: "Jmmy Hankinson" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Testing internet Just a test to see if my computer is working.

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.

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. Mike Welch MkIII CX PS. Scott, looks like I'll have time to send those photos you asked for...tomorrow. _________________________________________________________________ Make every e-mail and IM count.
