    Don't want to let Larry down due to lack of outburst!!! Sorry, been a little busy. Past weekend in the teen's not good. Petro-chemical plants not designed to handle that down here. Found out fiber-optics can be freeze affected!! News to a lot a folks here. I learned a lot on that day. First, that is probably the last time you'll hear me say, "I'll go first!!!" Second, if you see dust being picked up 1000' feet in the air 6-8 miles away, chances are pretty slim the wind is "6-10 mph right down the runway". Third, your "wind shadow" from the raised terrain on the west side of the runway is lower than the height of the barbed wire fence on the north end of the runway. I'm guessing somewhere close to 6-8"!!!! If you remember, you mentioned the "wind shadow" as we approached with a somewhat doubtful tone on the radio. Fourth, you got a pretty good first step! As I touched down and the crosswind started to overpower the rudder causing a swerve, you demonstrated an amazing initial evasive move. You know I'm just kidding. It was the trip of a lifetime for me! Your and Ms Karen's hospitality was much appreciated and hope to have the chance to return the favor someday. The following is one of my favorite Kolb video's. Give folks some appreciation of what we are talking about. The wind was not this bad when we landed, but it sure wasn't "6-10, right down the runway"!!! Pay attention to the power setting on approach and the the ground roll. For perspective, I'm guessing Larry's hangar is about 40 ft wide. This is on the crosswind runway that is not readily visible to first time arrivals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMYsdarPcnY&feature=channel Also if some folks are interested in what last year's trip was like, you might find the blog I kept during trip interesting. http://kolbadventures.blogspot.com/ -------- Thanks too much, John Bickham Mark III-C w/ 912UL St. Francisville, LA I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=281603#281603

    I've also lost track of how many bazillion times I've watched this video too. Just goes to show you what our light airplanes are capable of when flown by expert pilots. When I was ferrying my plane to NM from JD's place in NE, I had to put down about an hour into the first leg of the trip. The headwinds were so strong that my ground speed was cut in half (airspeed about 100mph, GS reduced to about 50 shortly after t/o). Had only about 3 hrs in the plane (it was definitely NOT being flown by an expert) and the place I chose to land (loup city, NE) was blowing 25G40 about 20degs to the right. Amazing I did no damage. I've had no desire to fly in conditions like that since tho I've come close just as a matter of circumstances. You guys still amaze me with your endurance and flying skill and show what the Kolb is capable of. WX is looking good this weekend for another trip, hopefully I won't have to put down in such winds....

    Mike, is this the one? I found it to be excellent for getting me in the ballpark initially.

You and Bruce C both got one Hell of an initiation that day. I had forgotten about the big dust cloud until you reminded me. My hands don't sweat often when I fly, especially when it is cold. I had to wipe my hands on my Levis leg several times on final that day. Glad I knew about the cross wind strip. I probably would not have made a satisfactory landing on the main strip. Looking forward to doing it again this year. 6 to 10 right down the runway. john h mkIII
