Met Dick Karl today in Asheville

[N747JB]

My son and I flew into AVL around 11:30 this morning, he flew and I played radio operator and navigator. While taxing to the ramp, Thomas pointed out a Citation CJ3 with an orange stripe running over the top. I recognized it as Jet Suite, the company Dick Karl flies for. We taxi in and park, I saw a gray haired guy walking out to the Citation and I told Thomas I was going to see if it was him. Anyway, as he was walking back to the FBO, I spoke with him briefly, seemed like a nice guy and one of my favorite "current" aviation authors.
My celebrity encounter for the day, other than having Falcon's owner, Arthur Blank's, G-IV follow us into FTY, they were going as slow as possible and we were going as fast as practical!

I was there with fellow PoAer ChemGuy doing his long IFR x-country around 10:45. We just landed and taxied back for departure. On our climb out we heard the Red Stripe call sign inbound to AVL.

I must have just missed you, we landed around 11:30! A little bumpy coming in from the south, not bad when we left and flew to Athens around 5:30

Are you stalking me? AHN was our next stop too.

Yeah, but you guys are too fast for me! We gave up and went from AHN to FTY!

If my Dakota ends up missing I'm looking for you John......

I thought Red Stripe was a plane load of Jamacian beer.

You learn something new every day.
