Jeez, I almost forgot to mention the "all you can eat
breakfast" ($6.00) fly-in...the 40th annual...at JXN Sunday morning.
There are always tons of airplanes there, as well as cars, hot rods,
antiques,street rods trucks, motorcycles, (so the flier says), so get
it together and come on in. It goes from 7:00am to 12:00pm (noon).
Put on by our EAA Chapter 304.
If for no other reason see our 4-across, 4-6 deep, pancake grill in
action...I'm writing this under the influence of 1/2 Budweiser, so
don't hold me to accuracy. : )

Kitfox pilot (to keep it legal with the mod. guys) : )
p.s. What the hell, I'll buy b'fast for any Kitfox that shows
up...what say, Malcolm, Marco, Rex, John, Steve, William, Lloyd from
the U.P., Richard, and anybody else I forgot. If the attending 'foxes
get too many in number, I'll hit the Chapter up for reimbursements,
so don't be shy!

No takers so far on the free breakfasts for Kitfoxer's flying into
JXN, and the kindly gentleman who offered has left Delta airspace. I
left orders that if any 'foxes showed up, they were to eat free, and
I'd pay the Chapter back.
I forgot Deke and Kevin on the initial offer...sorry.
We didn't get too many planes there today....maybe 20, and many were
leaving about 10-10:30, so thinking that they knew something that I
didn't, I followed suit. Most of the poor guys had to taxi the mile
or so down to the end of 24 for departure, but I requested and got,
permission to depart at E and 24, making a short runway, but the wind
was there so I knew it would work and it did.
JXN's METAR was showing winds to become G25 at noon, so I got out
before I had to deal with that....only G20 when I left.
It felt kinda strange flying in there before the tower opened, and
seeing the beacon flashing, but I knew it was VFR, and made all the
right calls, landed, and taxied as if I knew what I was doing, then
saw people moving around in the tower, which got my attention, but no
calls.
