I remember my first Thanksgiving away from family as a 19 year old machinegunner in Vietnam many years ago. That was a very lonely experience eating cold C-rations from a can in SE Asia. It's really not much different today for anyone serving in foreign land today. Or for service men and women who are not away but on US soil and who wont be home on-leave because they have important jobs they are doing tomorrow at their naval bases, forts, air bases or other military installations. These are the folks who are preserving our freedoms. Let's be thankful of all our service members, sacrificing a favorite holiday for all of us. Turkey MREs can't compare to what comes out of our own ovens (or fryers) at this time of year. If you offer thanks at your meal as many of us do, remember these American's who will be wearing the uniform tomorrow, as we sit down at our tables, in the comfort of our warm homes, with family and friends.

Didn't have time to be thankful that day, but we all got back safe and sound. I have, and always will have lots of respect for our service men serving in combat in foreign lands. Holidays were always lonely times and we at home need to remember the sacrifice that they have to suffer for the betterment of us all. Happy Thanksgiving to all and especially to our service men serving to keep democrecy free.

Blame Corky if you think this post is not Pietenpol specific enough because he told you I would fill you in. As you know I stopped to visit him in Shreveport and Jim Markle in Plano on the way from Winslow AZ to Naples FL. I won't bore you with all the exciting details of the adventure. Just a couple of points that I hope are helpful to any Pieters planning to do some Xcountry flying. We left Winslow mid-morning and planned to land at Santa Rosa NM for gas. Our plan worked, sort of. We landed and all we could find was sagebrush, red mud and paper signs that said "If you want gas call City Hall or the Police..." Fortunately we had a cell phone because there was none to be found. They said they would come out and meet us. We finally saw some life and flagged down a car coming out of a hangar (a banker who stored bank records in the hangar) and he pointed us to where the gas was. It took about an hour before the employees showed up. On this stop the delay didn't hurt because we were grounded by weather 20 miles ahead so we rode into town with them and spent the night. The next day we headed toward Texas and about 40 miles of our planned gas stop at Jacksboro we ran out of holes in the coulds and went under. We ran along at 2200' to Jacksboro where they had self fueling. When we landed a fellow pilot standing next to his aircoupe(sp) told us the pump didn't work, that he had been there for 4 days waiting for weather to clear and that he had gotten someone to come out from town with mogas. We called for mogas but were told that the fellow who could accomplish that was visiting his mother for the afternoon. We flew about 30 miles to the next airport and fueled without incident. We were then in very marginal VFR conditions and barely made it to Plano to visit with Jim. We had no problem with fuel at Shreveport or any of the other airports. Here is the problem to consider. If you stop at towered fields during working hours weekday you will be assured of getting fuel (and a very high bill more than likely). This is not the kind of place I like to land in my Pietenpol. I like grass and/or out of the way funky airports, preferably with self fueling. The price is better and usually the people are very friendly. However, you run the risk of sometimes being surprised. On one XC I called unicom to announce our landing and need for gas (not a self fueling field) and actually saw them leave 10 minutes early as we were in the pattern. Had to fly to the next airport. Fortunately this was in a Cessna 140 which had enough gas to make it. Why is this important? Pietenpols don't have that much gas to begin with. Land with minimumes and you might be spending the night because you don't have the option to fly to the next airport. I could tell a lot more about the trip, but let it be known that I am very thankful we got through TX and LA when we did. Now, I am off Friday to NC to bring back a Piper J-3. Tough job but someone has to do it. Then it will really be back to Piet building.
