Alan's Hangar

[201er]

Alan Fox asked me to invite you east coasters out to his Hangar break in party this Saturday (11/18/2017) at KVAY at noon. Bring your lock picking supplies so that we could get in without him knowing. Pot luck. Again, it was a bit fuzzy on the phone and I'm not sure if it was pot luck for taking whatever parts you see laying around the hangar or if it was to bring your own food.

For those of you coming and those of you who can't make it, here's a sneak preview of the parts and toys around his hangar. Also you get to see how they change a tire Bonanza style.

PS don't worry that Bonanza is not in Alan's hangar. Actually there is a Bonanza in Alan's hanger but it's not that one. Not that it changes much. Then again he leaves the Mooney outside.

Here's another preview of the buffet in store:

This is how the Grim Reaper chocks his airplanes:

Good eye!  

Luckily for the owner, it's an officially yellow-tagged Narco chock, at that!

It is, but knowing Alan, he will sell it to you.

Bring your black leather gloves, appetites, pot luck. There will be free BBQ! I know that brings out a Mooney crowd.

The hangar is on the east side of the field by the approach end of 26. It is not on the main ramp by the restaurant and we are not going to the restaurant. There is only one taxiway to get to the hangar so here's a diagram to where the break in will happen.

Will Alan be sacrificing one of the visiting Mooney’s?

That narco has an 8140... ten better than an 8130.

I went out to shoot some approaches and exercise my string of horses. All 200 of them! Departed around 10:00 or so and came back around noon. I didn't see anyone. Did anyone show up after that?

Little bit of a stretch from Florida

About ten people ...you should have stopped up..

I would have been there but my kids spread whatever they had to me and I’m sick and in no shape to fly.

Without question the bubonic plague was no spread by rats, mice, ticks and fleas.  It was spread by daycare/preschool.

Is she out of the shop and ready to run??? Come on down this way, it's warm out, or it was--we have a Freeze Warning in effect tonight, but it'll be near 70° tomorrow and all week.

Expect a NJ fly in  - in December...

Similar to two years ago... 'toys for the kids' 

I need to get more of the planning underway...

Best regards,

Ah maybe I’ll come in December!  FYI me please.

The burgers were excellent @Alan Fox! My only complaint was the lack of ketchup....good thing Bob C came to the rescue.

[201er]

Those were like 2 inch thick! Alan didn't spare a dime on those burgers! Just on everything else. And Chris came and ate like a cow but didn't even bring some desert!

Here's a little tease..... the primary color is called "Kona Blue" (a color code I stole from the ford car colors - so you can look up Kona blue) and it is sort of a chameleon color - sometimes it looks dark blue, sometimes purple, sometimes shiny..and there is a trick added to the paint too - more soon.  It is mostly this color throughout with a certain accent... more tease in the next few days.

The paint is ALL done in fact and she's being put together on Monday.

Thats a beautiful shade of blue!
