Heading out to Kim's Country Store to get 20 gal 93 oct, mabe a bite to eat, 

then over to Gantt IAP for departure SE.



Be about a 3 hour flight.  Not much to see except a zillion pine trees.



A perfect day for a cross country flight, 70F, clear blue skies, and light 

wind.  Couldn't ask for much more than that.



Will meet up with Cristal Waters and the gang from Waycross, GA, in the 

morning for breakfast at the Museum.  Brother Jim is driving up from 

Woodpatch (really Woodville) Florida.  Will make for a good day.  I hope to 

be back home before dark.



Take care,

   Hi Cristal,

    

   That was a good photo of you, John and Jim.  Now we know what    you' all look like.  Nice!

    

   Thanks,

Turned out to be a fun flight, good cross country training, plus got to put more names with new faces.



Had a good time.  Discovered my XC, camping, surviving skills were a bit rusty.



Watched a very professional arrival of Cristal and her buddy in the gyro flying close formation over Douglas Airport.



Breakfast was good.  Lot's of strong coffee.



Enjoyed my tour of the WWII Flight Training Museum.  The foks at Douglas have put a lot of time, effort, and money, into preserving an important part of our aviation history.  Worth the trip into Douglas to see.



MKIII and 912 performed well.



Glad I had the opportunity to visit with Cristal and Brother Jim.

Boyd:

  

 Your choice on what to call Gnatt, I mean Gantt  IAP.  We ain't picky in Titus, Alabama.

John's Kolb is the first Kolb I've seen in flight (as a spectator from the ground).  I've always been inside the Kolb or just seen videos.  



Watching Miss P'fer take off and turn and fly overhead was a beautiful sight.  We all stood there watching silently as his plane grew smaller and smaller off in the distance.  We continued to watch as if we were sitting in some theather watching the last of the credits scroll off the screen of a really good picture show that left us wanting more.  Then his brother Jim broke the silence with one word, "Wellp", as if to say "ok kids, the movie's over, they won't play it again, it's time to go home."
