Okie182 - It has a Garmin 430, King HSI and a King KFC-200 w/ flight director. A bit dated but can easily be updated. It has an old King KNS-80 RNAV/DME that I was planning to pull but would love to get input from anyone who has experience with it. If there is any reason I should not pull it...

I live in Memphis, TN and keep the plane at the Downtown Memphis Airport called Dewitt Spain (M01).

Good point, here you go. . .

New airplane!! I sold my Cherokee back in November so I could start looking for new cross country plane. My plan was to buy a Mooney 201, then looked at Bonanza and end up buying a Saratoga. It took a while but I couldn't be happier. It may not be the most efficient for fastest plane out there...

I live in Memphis and agree that flying into Dewitt Spain and staying downtown is an easy and fun layover. Disagree on the comments about the Rendezvous; it's been open for generations and the ribs are fantastic. They are different, dry ribs, so they may not appeal to some. Blues City Cafe on...

It was great seeing everyone this year though it was entirely too short a visit for the Snowden family. I am already looking forward to next year!

I was not planning to come this year because of other plans but it looks like the aviation gods are smiling on me!! The family is getting up early tomorrow morning and making the flight. It will be my 2 1/2 yr old daughters second Gaston's Fly In trip and my 11 mo old son's first!! See you...

She loves dogs! Anne Marie is use to curling up with Sampson the golden retriever on the bed. As for older folks, she loves them to. The grandparents and great grandparents have been passing her around since day one. I am actually counting on Anne Marie's incredible cuteness to have...

It's a 1966 Cherokee 180c. We took Anne Marie up for her first flight this weekend to see if enjoyed it. I am happy to report she enjoyed herself and had no problems. The test flight was only 30 minutes but I think we should be alright for the 1.5 hour flight. She will probably just fall...

Mae and I will be there with a new member of the family - our 8 month old Anne Marie. This will be Anne Marie's first x-country! Never too early to log time! Beau Snowden

How does it look at Gastons this morning? My wife and I are trying to determine whether we should throw in the towel or try to make it in today from Memphis. The weather gods did not cooperate yesterday placing the mother of all storms right along our flight path. We are hoping for a change...

Don't forget about the West Memphis airport in Arkansas across the river from Downtown Memphis. They have great line service and the city just built a new FBO. The big plus is that it has an ILS whereas DeWitt Spain does not. Hertz provides rental cars. I keep my plane at West Memphis and...
