What a week! On top of great weather, cool temperatures, and fun flying -- we have just enough wind strangeness to keep things interesting.
For those who missed it, our movie night on Thursday was held inside Bobby A's -- Bobby was generous enough to stay open until 9:30pm and allowed us to hoist a large screen and create a "drive-in" feeling with booths and tables all aimed at the movie. Bobby's excellent burgers, drinks, and I believe I counted TWO Banana Splits made it a great time.
Way better than the 40 degrees in the hangar! Also, the movie selection didn't suck -- nice one, Jake!
Bobby has indicated he'd love to roll out the red carpet for us again -- so look for a new Winter lineup of movie selections coming soon.
Which brings up a good topic of conversation. We've been hosting these movies on Thursday evenings -- but is there a better night you'd like to come and hang out with our friends and pilots? Let me know!

Bonanza 11N has a new OAT probe on order, and has a new ignition switch. This has cured the hard-starting issues.

We may have a new 172R on the line as soon as next week. With a Garmin 430 even. Cross fingers and say incantations. We've had real bad luck with sellers lately, so this may jinx the deal. I hope not.

That's about all I know of at the moment.
