Morning Gang:
Time to start thinking about the 8th Annual Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized
Flyin, Monument Valley, Utah, 2010. How's that? The title is as long as
the flyin.
Mother's Day 2010 is 9 May. Memorial Day is the last Monday, 31 May.
Normally we plan on having our flyin the weekend between Mother's Day and
Memorial Day. However, this year there are two weekends in between.
If you plan on attending, let me know which weekend you prefer:
a. 14-16 May
b. 21-23 May
Based on that info, we'll make a decision on which date to go with.
A lot of us shoot to arrive on Thursday before the official start date on
Friday, depending on the flying weather.
If you haven't attended one of our flyins, you should. You are missing out
on what we feel is the best flyin anywhere for Kolb aircraft and Kolb
people. Monument Valley is a perfect place for this kind of get together.
If you flyin, there is a 4000 foot paved airstrip, auto fuel across the road
from the airstrip, beautiful RV Park with a designated area for tent
camping, where most of us camp. If drive, there is a nice lodge and also
individual cabins and duplexes. There is also a nice restaurant and a
grocery store for food and supplies. The convenience store also has fast
food available and less expensive than the restaurant. If we luck out,
maybe Uncle Craig and Tim will bring their rolling kitchen and cook
breakfast for us. 
Take care,
john h

Hi folks,
Happy to see that someone else is thinking about MV. Last year it was
the highlight of my flight exp. Wouldn't miss it for anything.
This year I pan to fly.[ last year I trailered ] If anyone is planing
to fly along the interstate 10 route in a slow a/c ,I"m in a---55-60--
mph firestar & would love to hook up.
Will leave from Brownsville, TX. If someone knows of a better route
than Interstate 10, I sure would like to hear about it. This will be
my first really
long x country with overnight stops along the way and I'm not too sure
about the best route. It looks like there will be some long legs and
I will
have to carry an extra 5 gal gas can and stop somewhere to pour it in
my main tanks. I would like to avoid that if I can. If I can't ---at
least it is doable.
John, either date is fine with me . Count me in.

In 1994, I landed at Brownsville on my way around the border to Alaska.

Fabens, and on to El Paso.

Wil Uribe has flown his FS from El Paso to MV several times. He will be
able to help you out on the best recommended route from there.
Congratulations on your planned attempt at a flight that look like about
1,200 sm. Should be a good one.
