Thanks Buz for another great newsletter, I do enjoy looking forward to
reading each month.
Most of all I enjoy articles on flight safety, aircraft handling, fuel
management and flight planning and of course another good report could
be on how to handling weather, I mean, you yanks experience weather like
we in Australia will never experience.
I can remember flying out of New York on Pan Am 1982 January the day Air
Florida went into the Potomac, I have never seen such bad weather.
Articles on, like above, are good to read, they keep reminding us not
to push the envelop and keeps us on our toes.
Bruce, thanks for those kind words, We must catch up to see where you
are up to, you must be getting close now.

| Subject: | Lake Havasu Flight |
Wow! Avgas in Lake Havasu is now $2.75 per gallon! What a deal.
Yes, it was another great day in Southern Arizona. And, another great
flight to Havasu....except for the 29 mph headwind from Buckeye to
Havasu. When approaching the Harcuvar Mountains, I descended from 7500'
to 6500' in an attempt to find better conditions and was blessed with a
19 mph headwind. Of course, there is a bright side, on the return trip I
enjoyed a 32 mph tailwind at 8500'.
By the way, I now have 100.3 hours on my bird.
I've attached three photos. The first photo is the Nuclear Power Plant
Northwest of Buckeye. The second is Parker Dam at the Southern end of
Lake Havasu and the third is Lake Havasu looking South after takeoff on
runway 32 and turning left crosswind.
Havasu is a nice community with all the modern conveniences where
approximately 50,000 people live. Each time I visit, I enjoy it more.
I hope you like the pics. Have a great day.

Some cool things are going down at Green Landings that are under cover. I
was able to sneak in with my super duper spy camera and caught a couple of
quick pics. Ryan caught me and under threat of death, I was only able to
get away with some small snippets hidden in my Ryan-can't-see-what-I'm-doing
memory card.
I thought you guys might want to catch a glimpse before he finds out and
smacks me with a wet noodle.

Thanks for the pictures Gary, they really are very good and quiet
spectacular from our point of view. I enjoy following you on my Rand
McNally along with your photos.
As for your fuel prices, I just wish, we are $1.55 per Li =($5.90 per
gal) and going up next month.

Guys, can you hold on sharing the fuel prices, you're making me cry.....
In the UK mogas is $6.26 a gallon and Avgas $8.85
The difference in the price of mogas and avgas in the UK is what you pay
for a gallon......
Why are any of you guys on the ground?
What's Mogas a gallon?
