ziggysanchez Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm dropping off my Mooney in Longview next Tuesday at Maxwell's. Any chance someone is free and could give me a lift back to Oklahoma City on that day? Of course I would be willing to cover your fuel costs.

gsxrpilot Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm a maybe. While technically supposed to be at work... I haven't flown in awhile and might be able to sneak away. Let me know if no one else steps up and I'll make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of a long shot, but I might have to fly down to Dallas and then back up to AR or MO, may be able to divert, but waiting on business schedule. I a probably 3/10 chance that it comes in by next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Zjggy it looks like they pushed my Dallas trip to tuesday/wednesday thru friday instead of sunday through tuesday, if dropping off friday would be an option I could probably fly you to OKC on my return trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxrpilot Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hey Ziggy, Any chance you could drop it off Monday? I know Don's probably closed on Monday but it's easy to leave it parked on his ramp. Tuesday is still a possibility for me. But Monday would be a sure thing.

Paul I wouldn’t bet on him being closed Monday. I went over there Fourth of July and they were wide open. He is covered up with work. If you call the main number they usually answer weekend, holiday or whatever if they are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I just about always leave it there on a Sunday for him to open on Monday. I’d rather it be over at Dons than the tug over from KRS. Leave it at Dons and leave him the keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have someone pick you up, I think you might still need to climb his fence to get out. I suppose you could call the tower and get permission to hike across the airport.

If I have a fellow pilot, they just follow me in and we depart from DMax. KRS will come over and pick you up - they end up calling the tower.

Danb Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Leave it at KRS and request Paul taxi it back, easier than the tug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpaul Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Lots of speculation...how about a summon of @Pmaxwell maybe Paul can actually help out and answer the questions of hours and the best option for a drop off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few are speculating but I've already spoken to all the people I need to in order to find out when and where to drop off. No need for Paul to respond to this thread. We've already spoken to one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggysanchez Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I want to give a big shout out to @gsxrpilot Paul Steen for giving me a lift back home yesterday from Maxwell's after dropping my plane off for a tank reseal. I enjoyed the ride in your 252. Fantastic airplane. It was nice to sit right seat for a change and not have to push buttons and pull levers.....lol. Thanks again Paul. You're an awesome guy and great pilot. Look forward to returning the favor someday. My plane should be done in approximately 3 weeks. If anyone is planning on dropping off their plane at Maxwell's in that time frame and need a lift home give me a shout.

We were quite comfortable in the front seats of my mid-body 252. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this myth was busted....lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
