And had my ass kicked a few times too ::drinking:: ::whistle:: ::drinking:: Seems to me the were all called "Jones".. ::thinking:: Was last in Wales back in 88 flying out of RAF Valley.

Well RC, Ugro-finnic languages are quite much like nothing else... me being a bit spoker of Hungarian, can just say that it is whole different than any slavic language.


btw. I love the sound of Ya tem turatem... even funnier than Welsh ;D

If you ever come to the country of chocolates and banks here is the nearest: LSZA. Be careful, if I remember correctly, to fly IFR you need a special endorsement (step descent path)!  :)

Spring is sure hurrying to arrive, here at ID68....     :)

We had a nice day today, it was the spring "Clean-Up-The-Runway" day and everyone (even one dog and one cat) turned out to pick rocks, and gather up stray items that blew in during the winter.  A few brushy trees were pulled up, and fences were checked....  it's so nice to think that summer is coming!!

The resident 172 driver got her out and made three perfect landings...  what a nice sound to hear on a warm, sunny day.

I asked if anyone here minded various airborne visitors and it was a unanimous vote -- C'MON IN and VISIT ---  so, if anyone gets overhead in this part of the world, and can use 1800 feet of dirt, please drop in!!    ::bow::

Happy Spring, everybody!!    :D

I'd love to Gibbo, but I'm afraid the Platypus doesn't have the range to pick you up!   |:)\ |:)\ |:)\

Yesssssssssssssssss!!!                  ::bow::

DO IT!!!  Wow, Crownies AND good company??!?  Sounds great to me!           :D

It's sure spring here now...  very nice and mild....  I have spring fever bad!  Hearing that smooth-sounding Cessna when the neighbor was out Sunday was just about too much......  I broke out with a bad case of "Airplane-itis"....    ;D
