Midwest POA Lunch: May 13 KRPJ Flight Deck 1600 Z/ 1100 CDT

Hopefully it will be so nice we have to dodge meat bombs!

 

Rochelle, Rochelle . . .

FYI, Perryville, MO fly-in on the 20th, so 13th with the 27th as backup sounds good.

 

Anyone want to play hookie tomorrow for a lunch @ JVL? I've been working since Saturday and very tempted.

 

Very tempting……

I've got Big 4 "consultants" in all day. Rain check.

 

If weather cooperates I’m going to go to JVL Saturday

I only got the Cub. I'm probably skipping lunch trip to JVL, but with the shortened timeframe will poke a few holes in the sky between Chicago and I-39.

 

Has an “on the ground time by xx:xx @ RPJ” been declared for the 13th?

1087 posts, 6 actual lunches.

Just kidding. You guys have a much better track record then the Southeast gang.

 

Hey...I counted 10, and we spent an entire page just defining "midwest".

Also, this thread is pretty entertaining.

Thanks for wasting an hour of my evening

 

Hopefully you can replace that lost evening hour with an hour of fun conversation and good food at RPJ soon!! LOL

Ok gotta book a plane now

 

Lol. . 6 was a guess.

 

FTFY

 

Well now I have to go back in the thread for a geography lesson on which states are true members of the Midwest.

Great point! LOL So are we supposed to be wheels down @RPJ 11:00 CST or CDT or EST or EDT?

Crap. Dst strikes again. Good catch.

In my experience, it doesn't really matter when I set the time for anyway...

But it's fixed now. I think. Im terrible with time zones.

 

@NealRomeoGolf will you be needing a ride?

 

Supposedly not.

Supposedly.

 

I could swing over your way from EYE to pick you up on my way. Unless [mention]kaiser [/mention]needs/wants the hours

It's just that RPJ is a 10 minute flight if I rent the twin. Although I need approaches in the next week or two... decisions decisions...

 

Based on what you told me, I'm too fat for that twin.

 

I booked the twin.

Did I say that? I complained about aux tanks being Inop and therefore it having short legs.

 

You also mentioned the useful load was terrible.

 

Have a salad.

 

Oh. It is for my stated mission. That’s where I love that P32R hauling capability…. But I think you and I should be alright.

 

Put me down as a maybe. This is my first visit to PoA all year so I haven't been keeping up well. Things have been busy, both at work and with our newest little copilot born in late February.

I do like Rochelle, though, and I need to exercise the bird. Sure is a lot of yard work to do tho...

 

The restaurant at KJEF is fairly new. I forget what happened, but they had to rebuild everything there, the restaurant is a happy side effect of that. I've only eaten there once, but it was definitely above average for airport restaurants...

There's quite a few TKS Mooneys... In fact, the Ovation with TKS was the first FIKI piston single. All of the long-body Mooneys have had FIKI TKS as a factory option, there is also a non-FIKI retrofit for long and I think mid bodies too.

Have you ever flown in there? Nicest grass strip I've ever been to. It's lit! And there's frequently a King Air there, and I've seen an Aerostar and some other birds you don't normally see on grass there as well.

 

Congratulations!



And the yard work will keep. I just mowed some 8" tall grass today...

 

Thanks!

If I don't get the garlic mustard burned early enough, it makes 10x more for next year... And it's gonna be a lot easier to take care of the massive tree branch that came down before I can't mow around it and weeds start growing... And it's a lot easier to do a lot of things before the leaves are growing... Sigh.

 

When are the meetups?
I’m getting my annual done now

 

See title for current one. 1100 @ RPJ. I’m happy to pick people up.

 

Well, my maybe is trending to a no. a&p found a carb issue in annual and needs more time to Trouble shoot it.

Which airport are you departing from and what time? I’m not usually a morning person.

 

The plane is at KARR, but I want to do a bit more than fly the 9 minutes from there to RPJ. Where you at.

 

Haha that’s a flight! I’m in the city but fly out of KUGN.

 

I'll probably drive the 40 mins to Rochelle given (forecasted) wx. If it clears up I'll do the 16 min flight!
