The wx looks mighty fine up this way for tomorrow afternoon. I went up for some air this evening after the winds died down a bit, and witnessed one of those beautiful sunsets where the sun is a crimson peach with violet stripes and sinks slowly behind indigo clouds layered just above the true horizon, all this, of course, with row upon row of misty blue Allegheny Mountains in the foreground... wish I had taken the digital camerea along, as it was certainly a Fuji moment. It looks cool when you roll the whole sight-picture 360 degrees a time or two as well ;-) Hey, Len: did those pics on the CD ever arrive? -Stormy The weather hear in the Triad area of NC was horrible all weekend. I wanted so bad to start some aerobatic practice ... get my stomach back so I can take some more lessons ... we had ceilings of 400' all weekend ... YUCK !!! No CD yet Stormy !!

Len Hard to believe the difference in wx patterns; we had some breeze Sat pm and a nice day Sunday; went to Rainelle for lunch with the wife along & full fuel (I'm looking for an excuse for what I'm about to say...) and made two of the worst landings ever: too high a sink rate at Rainelle and too fast a touchdown speed at home; my wife commented that I needed some work, and she normally is very complimentary of my airmanship. At least I let the gear take the punishment and didn't make the bounces any worse by fighting them, which is guaranteed to cause a divergent PIO on the trike gear (ask me how I know). Something is fishy about that CD, Len... I mailed it last week. Maybe it got on the same slow mail truck that my SERV shirt is on ;-) Let's plan on a fall foliage fly-in at my place Saturday Oct. 30. We'll have a campfire and late-afternoon weenie-roast, horseshoes, croquet, maybe a woodsplitting / lumberjack contest (gotta get some work out of my guests ;-) No can do on the SERFI event, as my niece is getting married the first Sat in Oct in the DC area. -Stormy ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:00:27 AM PST US From: Lenleg@aol.com Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: Sunday --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: Lenleg@aol.com In a message dated 8/16/04 9:39:32 AM Eastern Daylight Time, SportAV8R@aol.com writes: Something is fishy about that CD, Len...

Check out this Avweb site with pictures. This will make your stomach turn.

Wow this is scarey. ===== Scores of airplanes destroyed by Hurricane Charley, Orlando Executive destroyed... Winds of up to 145 MPH broke tie-downs, in some cases the tie-downs held but the aircraft did not. Absent or weak control locks let structures flutter, some gone while others badly damaged. At some airports, a poorly tied-down plane broke loose and slammed into other more secured planes. Orlando Executive has been destroyed, hangars, planes, the works. Some are saying that they might as well close the place, that it's just ruined. It is also reported that seventy percent of the trees in Orlando are down and that the character of the town has been changed. Some of the fallen trees became missiles in the high winds. The aircraft losses could have been far worse as many pilots flew their planes out to a safer area. Flying-out was argued at Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach, trying to save the aircraft. Flight-line staff were concerned about the cost of fuel, hotels for the pilots, and simply not having enough pilots on hand. They decided to rely on their four-point tiedown system on the single-engine aircraft and stored the twin-engine Seminole trainers inside a maintenance hangar. When winds hit 106 knots they carried off the anemometer. The winds destroyed at least twelve of the school's Cessnas and two Diamond DA-40s. One of the Diamonds held by the tie-downs, the vertical stabilizer is gone, the other one got loose and is in pieces. The Seminoles appear to be OK, but the hangar in which they are now trapped is badly damaged with the doors destroyed, and may be structurally unsound. The doors will have to be dismantled to get the airplanes out. Embry-Riddle is without power and now facing the proble! m of the lost revenue from the destroyed aircraft, as the fall semester was set to begin. You may remember in '92, many of their aircraft were flown to Daniel Field for safety, during Andrew. As more pictures and video make its way out of the area, we see what devastation this storm produced. Insurance estimates are now around $20 Billion. by m11.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 16 Aug 2004 14:56:29 -0000 by mta5.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 16 Aug 2004 14:56:29 -0000 From: "Michael Stewart" List-Unsubscribe: Subject: [Team RV] Airport destroyed My appologies to the group for these non-formation related posts.
