This joins a 2100 paved airstrip. This is a one of a kind property. I would like to advertise this in a magazine for private pilots and have my private license. I flew in the 70's. Fly-in magazine used to be the top magazine to advertise in in the 70's when i flew, but I would like to ask if anyone knows the top airpark or fly-in or private pilot magazine for todays pilots. Thanks so much.

You can enthrall listeners at hanger talks for the rest of your life with this amazing tale. During my first summer home from college after turning 21 in 1968, a friend and I managed to have a drink at every single bar in my hometown of Visalia between 5:00 pm and 2:00 am closing. We did it in a ratty old '47 Pontiac 2-door. Of course the town only had a population of 18,000 back then. Still impresses folk at cocktail party chatter . . . well it actually horrifies folk in today's anti-drunk diving climate! As a former county prosecutor I can get away with having a checkered past. Thanks for the entertaining trip report.

Several other local RV guys do have the system and seem to like it. What is your impression thus far? I decided to consider this vs. a Garmin unit due to the space constraints in the -4 (I have a nice panel with a UPS GX-55 for GPS navigation). I am interested mostly in the XM weather feature. Personally my plan was to mount the WX Worx unit somewhere in the baggage compartment with the antenna mounted on the rear fuselage under the canopy (adjacent to the current GPS antenna). I plan to hard wire the electrical system to the HP Ipaq and, at least to begin with, may just use Anywhere's knee strap and store the HP Ipaq when not in use velcroed to the side of my upholstery under the right canopy rail. Are you going to use an external GPS antenna or will the Ipaq receive a signal OK?
