John? Debra? You guys payin' attention to this?
The native connoisseur, aka SkySteve, highly recommends the OGD airport cafe; order anything you like but avoid the beach and badges (remember Bahama?) and don't drink the water. I think he mentioned "brine."
Oh...and hold the flies...

Re: Heading South... Sort-of
Hey John! I should have been more specific and said the BBQ was Sat. eve. but you and anyone else are always welcome here at 3L2. My truck can be used for your ground transportation and my house for a motel room. I'll even pay for a meal. Tie down at my house is free and the drive to the strip in Vegas is only 45 minutes.
Closest avgas is at Jean,0L7, self serve $5.23.

Steve,
Thankyou for the great offer and we will be by there today (Monday) at
Some point probably after lunch time to say hello.. I'll call.
Re: Heading South... Sort-of
Well, that's another year in the bag!
We landed at our home drome, Glendale, AZ (KGEU) exactly an hour ago, 1300 PST, after a grueling 40 minute flight from the Copperstate Fly-In in Casa Grande, AZ (KCGZ); tucked 427ET into the hangar after a leading-edge rubdown and spent the next grueling nine minutes driving home: WHAT A DAY!
After unpacking the dirty laundry, which included some lingerie neither of us would own up to, I clicked open the link John McBean placed in his 20 October entry on this thread, only to find THEY had arrived at Homedale only 15 minutes earlier! After a 0630 launch in the Arizona desert and one pit-stop in Mesquite, Nevada, they were back on Homedale, Idaho's world famous S66 "alert pad" safe and sound.at 1445 PST!
Who in'a'hell says Kitfox isn't a GREAT cross-country machine!?
And a "grande" time it was again with the local DFS crowd and associated Kitfox nobility (did you know Paul Leadabrand can change a light bulb all by himself? In a vaulted ceiling! How does he fit into a Kitfox?) gathered around the same round table in "Duke's Bar" (if ya ever want a six-foot painting of John Wayne for your living room, I know where you can steal an awesome one!) at the Francisco Grande. I could happily live forever, one year to the next, even if that was the only event I had to look forward to each year.
Thank you one and all, Kitfox dealers, dreamers and doers, for making this another great end to the annual EAA airshow season.
"E.T." & Dee
P.S. My cell phone just rang (NS!)...it was John & Debra calling us to "close their flight plan!" Any wonder why we love those two so much?
