Do you hanger your MKIIIx at Homestead?
Makes me miss my mkIII. Haven't flown it in two months.
I arrived Monument Valley yesterday in rain and fog. The weather gave the
place an erie feeling. Especially, not being able to see the monuments. In
9 trips to MV this is the first time I could not see the monuments. Last
year, John W and I arrived in a rain shower which gave the place an unusual
appearance. But at least we could see the monuments.
I'll send the other photos on the Kolb BBS.
I have a wing on the Dodge, but it ain't big enough to fly.

Hi Gang:
Arrived MV yesterday in rain and dense fog. Woke up to the same weather this morning,
but Mother Nature smiled on me and the sun is now out and the monuments
are in full sight.
Monument Valley is the official home of the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Flyin.
The first was held May 2003. We have had one each year since, always in May between
Mothers Day and Memorial Day. Works out to the 3d weekend in May.
Plan on attending next May 2009.

Hi John,
I bet you do miss your MK III, traveling in such beautiful country and not being
able to go up and fly is just not right ! Unfortunately, the past week has
been perfect flying weather in Miami, and I have been stuck up north for work
:( The motorcycling/atv riding does sound like a lot of fun though !
Jay,
That part over the everglades was a risk, but the engine and plane have been flying
perfectly, so I could not resist, although I do not make a habit out of doing
that... You are correct, not a road or anything for many miles. If the
engine did quit, I would just put down the flaps, fly straight ahead, and wait
to go over on my back [Shocked] There have been quite a few cases where people
have flipped their kolbs on landing, and as far as I know they have walked
away from it, so I would take that over the chute.
Mike

Y'know John, a lot of the local airplane pilots around here have taken up
PPG in addition to (NOT instead of!) airplane flying. A PPG fits IN your
RV, and you can fly it nearly anywhere...

Ahem! That ain't no VG, my friend. That is an inverted airfoil with an air
dam on each end.
If I thought I could get better slow speed flight and eliminate that dreaded
"5th wheel drop", I'd have those little suckers stuck all over it.
That old Taylor Wing is worth a 10% decrease in fuel burn. I'm over 6,000
miles into this trip. That figures out to a little over 600 miles free
pulling. ;-)
Take care,

Place was full and overflowing when I got here yesterday.
That is why I carry the Winchester 3000 Home Defender with me. A 12

Dana:
No disrespect for PPG (every time I see that abreviation I think Pittsburg
Plate Glass), but I have my hands full with a dirt bike and atv when I am
roaming.
Most folks know, when I go flying, I fly. Next May, I'll be right back out
here in the MKIII, along with most of the other places I have visited and
explored on this trip.
Never had any desire to haul an aircraft of any type around behind an RV.
Never had to fold, stuff, pack, or otherwise, an aircraft. Don't like to
have to mess with the extra details (work).

Here's a few photos of MV today with the sun shining a little.
This is more like the normal way the home of the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Flyin
looks like.
It is unplanned and unorganized. This means no one is in charge, no one has any
duties, and no one has to pay to attend. We are a laid back group of Kolb builders,
flyers, and folks that want to be building and flying a Kolb. After
6 successful flyins, my major reason for coming back is to be able to spend time
with friends I have met through attendance at the flyin in MV.
Takes me 20 flight hours to get to MV, so......... I am more than happy to sit
down at the airstrip, under the shade of a wing, and enjoy world's greatest company.
