We're leaving early Friday morning for a long, long 60-minute flight. Want to arrive in time for an IPC with a real Mooney instructor. I'm still legal, but am getting rusty . . .

You folks look terribly stressed.  I hope you get some relaxation in while you are there.

Best regards,

Hi Bob, we will sleep in and leave Memphis around 9am.  Don't get to KEPC too early, or you may get there before the fog lifts

I need to have our area weather map change. I'm not interested in taking off if there's nothing but low ceilings below for 200 miles.

You east coast boys should keep an eye out for Joaquin. Looks like it's a brewing...

Will do. My weather seems to be working out. Hope to lift off around sunrise. 

[Hank]

Have a good trip, Bob. You're just over 24 hours ahead of us. See you tomorrow in the flatlands.

We'll be watching for Mooneys on FlightAware.

Sad to say, I just e-mailed Mike to cancel.

I figure I can get there today, staying in my comfort zone, by routing west of the Appalachians rather than the coastal route, but the big challenge will be getting back to New England on Sunday and Monday when Joaquin is expected to make life miserable around here

I just pulled up the weather for the east coast, that's a lot of IFR conditions along the whole coastal route. And Joaquin isn't even here yet!

Inland looks better but would add some miles on...

Be safe above all, everyone! If your stuck down here for a day or two, well darn the beautiful luck. We are already planning next year's event (Sept 28-Oct2, maybe 3rd, 2016 depending on hypobaric chamber availability Oct 3). This isn't a forced march, stay in your comfort zone. Ron, I and the rest of the Mooney Summit team are not done setting the bar for what an educational Mooney specific gathering should be. We will have many many exciting things to announce in the coming year. All of this effort goes to empowering the Bill Gilliland foundation to provide financial aid and crisis therapy for a downed Mooney pilot's family when they need our help and support the most.
