Glad Bruce got home safely. Got a call from John Bickham a little while ago. He
was unpacking after his return home this afternoon. I am waiting weather in
Neosho, MO. Arrived here last night in the rain just prior to dark. Sure was
good to see this little airport on the horizon. Will get out of here and head
for Alabama in the morning. 547 sm to go.
I have no idea how far I have flown so far. I accidentally deleted my odometer
in my GPS this morning. ;-( I can go back through the pilots log and add each
flight up, but that would take a long time to do. I have flown more than 50
hours this trip and am looking at about 6 or 7 more flight hours before returning
home.
The airplane and engine are doing great. No problems with either. Well, maybe
one. I put Slime in my tires prior to leaving home. Did not test fly. Discovered
on my takeoff the next morning that Slime really puts those 8X6 tires wayyyy
out of balance. Have been dealing with this little adversity since the
start of the flight. However,...I have not had a flat tire like one of my flying
buddies. ;-) Will order new tubes and replace on my return home.
If you fly through this area, Neosho is a very friendly airport. Billie Sallee,
airport manager, is first class. All the other airport managers in the North
American Continent could learn something from this young man. He takes care
of his customers.
Take care,

Flying Folks,
Attached are a group of photos from the Memorial Day Air Show at Jones
Beach, NY. Because we love flying and flying machines, you'll love
these, for sure. For those unfamiliar with NYC, pictures #3 and #11 are
over the southern tip of Manhattan, where the twin towers used to be.
Enjoy - they're great pictures!!!

Good to here your almost home.
Did someone else have a flat. I had a flat over night at Sault Ste. Marie a
few years ago on the way to Oshkosh. I added Slime to my flat tire the next
morning which got me to Oshkosh with a fully deflated tire. I didn't nose
over or anything but had a very short roll out with a very slow taxi. John W
landed right after me or in his words almost on top of me.
