Subject: Pietenpol-List: more Brodhead dreamin'
I had the charts and plotter out again tonight, looking at routes, distances, times,
fuel stops to Brodhead. The first day would still be the same no matter
what... two long legs from San Antonio to Shreveport and overnight at Corky's.
That will be Wednesday, July 23rd.
Thursday would be four legs, a bit over 500 statute miles, from Shreveport to Little
Rock/Poplar Bluff/Mt. Vernon, Illinois. Mt. Vernon is where the annual
KR Gathering has been held in the past and is not a definite overnight but somewhere
in that area because I know they are airplane-friendly.
Friday the 25th would be in two legs from Mt. Vernon to the Peoria area and on
to Brodhead, putting me on the field sometime around noon on the opening day of
the fly-in. I would get settled in and enjoy Brodhead on Friday afternoon,
Saturday, Saturday night, and plan to leave sometime before noon Sunday, July
27th.
Return flight would probably be more direct but similar route and stops. I know
by that time I will be playing the part of the tired pre-WWII Army Air Force
trainee, my airplane safely tied down at the field and the warm engine still
ticking as it cools off on that Monday July 28. The evening would find me slouched
in the nearest pub somewhere around Peoria, my leather jacket open and goggles
pushed back on my head, white scarf hanging limp, and me downing some cold
brews and ordering a round on the house to celebrate my 57th birthday that
day. Tired, sunburned, saddle-sore, but still enjoying the stick and rudder
every time the tires leave the ground as we head home.
I figure 2400 statute miles round trip, 4 gal./hr. at $4.50/gallon means I'd pay
about $720 for avgas for the trip. Talk about a "$100 hamburger"... plus five
days vacation time from work ;o) I guess a Pietenpoler has to make the flight
at least once in a lifetime or his Piet will forever be restless in its spirit.

John,
Consider yourself corrected.
>From the Brodhead Pietenpol Association website:
Mark your calendars for Brodhead 2008!
Friday, July 25th - Sunday July 27th
Reminder - EAA Annual AirVenture in Oshkosh begins the Monday after the Piet
Gathering in Brodhead.
That would be very disappointing to show up on the wrong weekend.
Hopefully you can revise your schedule.
Bill C.
