So how does a fly land on your kitchen ceiling? Half roll or half loop?

Corky, I believe Webster's lists "Texas A & P"
as "A farmer living near the Mexico border that raises Angus & pigs,
knowing they will draw flies. The Texas A & P will spend the day laying
on his back watching how the flys fly in order to discover the secret of
flight." Because of their obvious superior intellect, other Texans hire
them to get rid of the bugs in their flying machines."

Good Saturday to y'all;
Today is my oldest daughter's 31st birthday and I flew her out to
Fredericksburg, TX (T82) in 41CC along with a couple of other members of the
Southwest Aero Club. This is a loose-knit group of pilots and wannabes from
where I work, Southwest Research Institute. Needless to say, I was the last
to arrive at Fredericksburg... the others were in a Cherokee, a Symphony, a
182, and various other things.
Beautiful day for Pietenpoling. Cruised it over and back at 2500' MSL
(pattern altitude at T82), great visibility, no winds, and perfect
temperature at altitude; landed and joined the others for breakfast at the
diner on the field, right next to the "Hangar Hotel", a nostalgic-setting
modern hotel in a WWII era hangar. Huge group of sailplanes on the field
along with numerous towplanes... we just barely got out before they closed
the taxiway at noon-thirty for sailplane tows and retrieval operations.
Ha... intersection takeoff at the FBO exit taxiway no problem for the mighty
A65, even with full fuel and two aboard.
Longest flight since my ferry x-c from Zapata... just under an hour each way
from San Geronimo to Fredericksburg. Wish I had had smoke for a
"Gantzer-style" departure...

Makes me proud just reading about it. Isabelle and I have a 3 day gift at
the Hangar Hotel but she found out about that cancer and we had to cancel our
reservation but hope to make it someday. Maybe you can fly up while we are
there.
