November?

Howdy Pilots,

How about this nice warm autumn? Great flying weather abounds!

Here is what I know around the ranch, which is admittedly not much:

Cessna 630 is cruising

Cessna 20U keeps on truckin

Cessna 68U is on the backburner again

Cessna 739 is still on her scheduled 100hr. We expect her to emerge next week sometime.

Cessna 1ES rocks

Cessna 17J is on her scheduled 100hr, and we hope to have her back today sometime.

Cessna 25R has gone down for some unexpected maintenance. I don't have the complete story yet, but I'll post it up when I do -- it sounds exciting.

Prop wash...

Pilots!

A few grumblings on the schedule for this sweet weekend. Here's what I know:

Cessna 630 is rushing to wrap her 100hr ASAP, with a return hoped for Saturday. We are planning on Tuesday.

Cessna 68U is under the knife.

Cessna 20U is cruising.

Cessna 739 will go in for 100hr next week.

Cessna 1ES ate her prop spinner, and is unexpectedly down this weekend. Sorry, Pilots.

Cessna 17J has had her MFD completely rewired. We hope THIS will fix the problem once and for all, and all accounts seem to indicate it will. We'll see about returning the transponder we got sold. Fat chance, I'm guessing.

Cessna 17J will also be in for 100hr next week.

Cessna 25R is rocking.

Piper 85Y embarks to Toronto tomorrow. Marlon and I will be making the 2000nm journey, which may be her last N-numbered flight in the US!



Super nice weather lately. Grab some sky!

See ya,

Warm weather...

Pilots!

Absolutely gorgeous flying this weekend. Here are some things I know about that are going on:

In wrenchland:

Cessna 630 is down for her 100hr inspection as planned, and should pop out later this week.

Cessna 68U continues refurbishment

Cessna 20U has a new PTT switch

Cessna 739 is cruising.

Cessna 1ES will be due for an oil change soon

Cessna 17J will be due for her 100hr next week or the week after. Her fabulous new transponder seems to have stopped working, to the chagrin of pilots everywhere. We are planning to drop rocks on Tom's Cessna today and see if they can undo the mess they've caused. Very frustrating, and apologies to those who continue to be affected. More as I know it.

Cessna 25R had an exciting issue with her gear position switch, which has been corrected.



Flabob Airport is having a Veterans Day celebration on November 7, which promises to be a fun time! They will be there from 9:00am until 4:00pm, and Flabob always has amazing aircraft on the field. Plus, you get to buzz the hikers on Mt. Roubidoux in your base turn. Fun!

The Santa Ana winds keep peeking out at us, but so far, nothing too extreme. Keep an eye on that windsock, and an ear on traffic.
