    What size chute are you looking for? I have two 500 lb BRS's I have no use for any more. One is new and never been installed and the other was only on for a short time. Both would need to be inspected as they are out of date.

    John Delighted to hear you've made such good progress. All Kolbers are watching/listening & cheering you on I'm sure. And even non-Kolbers like me. The few times I've crossed the Rockies I've followed the 4-lanes, don't recall having to go over 6-7K or so. As I recall, Billings, Jackson, Rawlins & then way south.

Field elevation at Laramie is 7284 and Rawlins is 6817, as are most of the air fields west of Laramie. I prefer the shorter routes than following the Interstate Highways, but do not hesitate to use any pass I need to get safely across the Rockies or any other mountain. With winds gusting to 40 mph, especially from the West, just ain't productive to try and fly through that over the Rockies. I think I can fly from here to the Rock House Thursday if the wind cooperates a little. john h
