    Hey Pat, How's your Ash? Hi, all clear at the moment.The blanket ban on flying has been lifted and different parameters have been agreed under pressure from the airlines and the travel industry. Not sure that I want a fly/no fly decision to be taken by a travel agent who is trying to make a profit but there you go. The winds are taking the ash away to the northeast now.. Ferries to the Continent are pretty well booked as those who would have flown on holiday lose their nerve. Eurostar rail link under the Channel is booked solid for some weeks for the same reason. One plane in the north of the UK reprted landing with ash around the intakes after only flying to 4000ft agl. Locally the level was down to 10000ft. Glorious weather and a heat wave for us. 24C for the last few days. Thermals ferocious but took a friend for a first flight on Sunday at 9 am. It was beginning to bump up a bit by the time I landed but generall smooth.. Great Spring and Summer so far. On previous experience that means that Winter starts on Wednesday. Hope not as i am off to Andorra on Monday which entails flying to France. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vic" <vicsv@myfairpoint.net> Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 4:53 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Another video... > >> > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checked by AVG - www.avg.com 11:26:00

    Subject: Trying to fly to MV
    Hi all, Just got back from my trip to MV Amost got there! Even though I didn"t go all the way the trip was a good one. Met three really nice people, Will Uribe, and Mike and Jan marker. stayed one night with each. Received good advice from each of them. The weather was bad in south Texas Sun so I planed to trailer to El Paso and fly from there, When I got to El Paso Will advised me to trailer on to Los Lunas, NM where I planed to meet and stay the night with Mike and Jan They fed me and gave me a really confortable bed. The next morning Mike checked the weather for me and said conditions were about as good as they were ever going to be, so I took off . The A/C preforming ok if not up to its usual standards. All my flying is done from flat land where the average airport is 35 ft above sea level.I had some issues with DA and a heavy air plane that I thought I understood , but really didn"t. to make my long story shorter, the end result was that I drug a wing tip at St Johns , Az damaged my plane slightly and ended my trip.I did get in a few high alt landings--Grants--Gallup--Window rock--and a poor one at St Johns. Oh almost forgot at window rock airport I had to walk to town to get fuel, while I was gone someone stole my radio.but they did leave my headset and gps. Maybe next year will bring better luck for everyone . Frank Goodnight Brownsville, TX firestar 2 PS--I belive my mishap at St Johns was caused by , nerves , heavy airplane , high DA , and lack of expereance in flying at higher altitudes.

    Hi Boyd, Did see Frank Goodnight at MV? last I heard he was flying in from Albuquerque. He said he was going to call me when he got to MV but I know some don't have cell phone service there. Regards, Will >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Will and the gang. Frank tailored his plane up to mike and Jan markers. And was flying to MV from there. The last I heard he damaged a wing tip, not sure if it was on takeoff or landing. He was trying to rent a car to get back and get his tow vehicle and trailer. Was going to pull it to where his plane was and trailer home. I was told that he was not hurt. At one time I was told the city names. but not being familiar with the area, it kind of went in one ear and out the other. Boyd

    Thanks for the update Jason. I believe you are right in that it probably isn't possible to upgrade any of these things.
