It started out as a simple flight to help a new Tiger owner get his Tiger from Auburn to New Jersey. He needed the help because he'd never flown over mountains, let along the Rockies. I convinced him he needed to see some real mountains as long as we're on the way. Grand Tetons, here we come. I'll post a pic or two when we get back. Somewhere in Easter South Dakota we began looking for fuel. So, you know how airports have 3 letter identifiers? Well, the 3-letter for Rapid City is KRAP. I called them on the radio and said, "KRAP tower, do you guys have gas?" The tower came back with a chuckle, "Yes. We have gas." I didn't have the heart to land there for gas. I couldn't stop laughing.

Nice folks and neat location just east of the Black Hills and Rushmore. But yes, KRAP is and always will warrant a chuckle:) -----Original Message----- From: owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Gary L Vogt Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 8:23 PM Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Looking for fuel Those not on Facebook don't know about the trip Clytie and I are on.
