Did not look good and it wasn't. Should have loitered to the south until the weather moved out of Goulding's, but I got impatient and pushed my way in. Was raining pretty hard, extremely windy with typical MV wind gusts. On my 3d attempt to land, I made it. Was cold, wet, and windy. Good to be on the ground at one of my favorite places. First time I had flown into MV since 2009. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:00:21 PM PST US From: william sullivan Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Flight West 2014 Numbers Wow. Remarkably consistent. Nice going. About a 10% loss in GPH for 200-300 rpm increase.

A couple hundred miles shorter coming through Kansas, but more head wind. john From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of william sullivan Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 7:00 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Flight West 2014 Numbers Wow.
