I'd like to recognize two people who have made my partner's and my experience as new Kolbers enjoyable and doable.



First, we bought an immaculate and meticulously-build MKIII Classic from someone you all know, Steven Green. What a craftsman and gentleman!

The only regret I have about buying his beautiful aircraft is that it means he's not in the air (for now.)



Second, we are eternally grateful to Jim Kmet, of Cookesville, TN, who "oriented" us on what seems like the only CAVU day Tennessee has had in months. With great patience, good humor and not the least, courage, he helped two private pilots transition into the world of Kolbs. An avid S&F'er, I've wanted a Kolb for years, and since it looks like I'll never be able to retire, I bought my retirement fantasy early. I also don't have the patience/skill to build my own.



If that weren't enough, Jim took a detour (8 hours round trip) on his way to S&F to spend a day at our home base, Pompano, FL, (KPMP) to help work out the kinks in our transition.



Two wonderful gentlemen pilots, who deserve a round of applause.

this is some great coincidence I will soon be relocating to Pompano and its good to know that there are some Kolbers there. I was there about two weeks ago and really enjoyed the airport. Probably the best airport in that part of Florida and the main reason I am going to settle in that area just as soon as I sell my house out here in Arizona. Maybe I'll finally get a chance to finish building my own M3X.

Hi, Ron,

Welcome aboard. Let us know when you arrive. I'm sure we can learn from each other, and it will be great to have a sister ship to fly with.

If you want to chat off-line, use david.watkins0(at)gmail.com.

Dave and/or Jeff,



Would you happen to have Steven Green's new e-mail address?  The old one I have is not working.  Guess he ain't a kolbdriver no more.



I would appreciate it.  I have had the priviledge of sharing some XC trips with Steven G and it was more fun than I deserve.  We both love to hear each other talk funny.



  



Do not archive.

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for.

That would be great. We sure will! Now I need to get out of the Arizona desert and head there. Which model are you building?

I will give you a call later this week after I get back in town.  Sounds good.
