We went for the engine assembly workshop, similar/same to the ones they normally do at Sun'n'Fun and Oshkosh. The trip up can be summarized in only a few words: COLD, beautiful weather, headwinds, and windy down low. We stopped at Millville, NJ for lunch and gas and parked right next to a Gulfstream IV on a nearly empty ramp. It was a good place to stop with 2 restaurants on field and reasonable gas price. The ride up was very, very smooth at altitude (7,500) but winds were pretty strong down low (18G28). One note about the first photo - it shows us flying on top - but that lasted less than 20 miles, just north of PXT VOR and it all cleared up before we reached Dover, DE. Flying over JFK and seeing Manhattan was one of the highlights. Visibility was great! The workshop was extremely valuable. Mahlon, John, and Keith were great hosts and answered a bunch of questions we had. The assembly started around 9 and we were done by 3:30. Then we did a tour of a vintage car collection that was just breathtaking. Several cars there were "the only one remaining in the world." We even got to talk to Parker -- an 84-year-old owner of the collection. He loves this stuff and loves talking about it. On the way back we just reversed the route and stopped at MIV again. This time, JFK was even busier and we got to see a British Airways B-747 passing a few miles off our left wing at same altitude. And of course, as the Friday front passed, we got treated to more headwind on the way back. We did expect it though. Luckily it was a lot warmer on Sunday. Putting in a music input into the intercom was a great idea.

It was enlightening as I was made aware of a couple of programs that I did not know about. I have been using the AOPA program for the last couple of years and DUATS before that. User Results: AOPA 8 reponses; EAA 2; fltplan.com 4; DUATS 2; Golden Eagle 1; Flightsoft 1. Weathermeister and weather.aero were each indicated by one person each as a weather source for info in addtion to the flight planning. Regards, Dale Ensing Hello SERV'ers. Would you mind participating in a simple little survey? What Flight Planning program do you use? Or, which is your favorite? How much do you pay for it?

Wash center passed us off so many times to Pawtaxunt NAS and back I thought we were a ping pong ball. By the time we got to JFK we decided to just screw talking to anyone so long as we were at VFR alts. and on the airway. Planning through Rad was VOR to VOR right over the top. How's your 7 coming. BTW the heat is negligable at 12F So put your intake on the rear baffle if you want heat at 8500 Tad ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy Utsey To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 11:25 AM Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: Mattituck report Hey Tad, Rad, did you get flight following over JFK or did you cross over above their class B?
