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.

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.

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.

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. Pete D ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:23:44 PM PST US Subject: RE: Lightning-List: Lake Havasu Flight From: "James, Clive R" 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? -----Original Message----- From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Brian Whittingham Sent: 27 February 2009 23:49 Subject: RE: Lightning-List: Lake Havasu Flight Gary, Mention that you saw that add on Airnav to the linemen at Shelbyvill and you could get it there for $2.84/gallon!
