I was going to fly down 1/2 way on Wednesday and arrive at MV on Thursday. When I called for weather, I was told the trip was ifr. We might have been able to fly all the way on Thursday but the leftover wind from the storm convinced us to drive. I think that there were others thinking the same thing, as there were no kolbs on the flight line. There was a Rans and a Sonix motor glider. Even the twin otters and cesna caravans stayed away with there loads of tourist. Thursday night was ok. But Friday a 20 / 30 wind starting around noon and was relentless. The forecast was for a 50 / 60 mph blow on Saturday into Sunday. So my wife and I bugged out Saturday morning and tried to find our kids at Moab, they had camped so far off the beaten path that we missed them. We were able to kike up to see one arch, It was real good to see those who braved the weather to make it . but wasn't the same without the planes. . The wind kicked up the dust in the air and turned the monuments to a silhouette. And at one point there was enough dust in the air to almost obscure them.

I hope the high w inds weren't too hard on those who were tent camping. I've slept (tried to sleep) with winds so high that my tent was flexed over on my face - not fun !

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" Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 4:53 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Another video... > >> > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checked by AVG - www.avg.com 11:26:00 ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 01:24:24 PM PST US From: frank goodnight Subject: Kolb-List: 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. ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 02:08:09 PM PST US From: "b young" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: monument valley 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.
