Marauder Posted February 9, 2019 Report Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) A few of us will be heading to Cambridge Maryland (KCGE) for lunch. Looks like a great weather day. So far, looks like 5 of us are headed there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Edited February 10, 2019 by Marauder Quote
Guitarmaster Posted February 9, 2019 Report Posted February 9, 2019 Why don't you guys ever have an impromptu fly-in in the midwest? Hmmmmm??? I see, you don't like us.... 1 Quote
MBDiagMan Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks very much for the inviration, but how about adding a state or city to the location? People so often indicate a location by the identifier which is fine for most of the locals, but how about just adding one more phrase like a city and state? Quote

Marauder Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Posted February 10, 2019 Crab cakes were great. Service was a bit slow. Okay, it was really sloooow. But we did get to talk airplanes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Shadrach Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Beautiful but cold morning. I flew into Annapolis (Lee) this morning for an early breakfast meeting. It was 17° when I got to the airport. Nice to see that so many rallied for lunch! Quote

It actually turned out a lot larger than expected. It was just the 3 of us getting together until I invited Brian who then in turn invited Quakertown, PA. Unfortunately they were packed solid with people and had to put us in a separate room. My wife noted the serving sizes were a bit smaller than our last meal here. The food was great, the service was slow. I asked if they took reservations and they said they didn't. Too bad. Could be a nice location with a larger group. 1 Quote

And your point is? Posted on Saturday, edit on Sunday at 12:38 AM to include the airport location. Edited a little later to show 5 were coming (Jack, Chris, Marauder, Marauder's wife and Don). Later Dan added he was coming. No Brian! Just the entire Quakertown PA population! We will plan a better location next time. Wasn't expecting 14 people when I said "a few of us will be heading..." Good thing more didn't show up. We would have starved to death for real. Quote
orionflt Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 Truth is it was jacks fault. When I said he was going to be there everybody wanted to go. 1 Quote

orionflt Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 More my daughter, when he was at UKT she was his copilot for a lot of dog missions. when she heard he was going to be there she went from debating on going if her boyfriend could go to I'm going! lol. Jack is like her granddad. 3 of the group that came with didn't know Jack, but heard we were flying out and didn't want to be left behind. didn't do them much good, they were flying a 172. LOL if you look at my facebook you can see a video my daughter took of Bob and Bob in the twin catching up to me and forming up for a few minutes. the 172 was 1/2 behind Quote
Marauder Posted February 11, 2019 Author Report Posted February 11, 2019 I was staying ahead of the twin Comanche but not by much. I did pass our buddy in the Piper Cherokee 140 on the way back. Poor guy, I think everyone passed him on the way down and back. And to add a really big insult, Dan in his Bravo on his way down left 20 minutes after he did and still landed before him. Quote

I had between 150 and 160 kt ground speed. my max was 169 average 141. not bad for a 180 hp C with 3 people on board. 1 Quote

Chris in his J was down at 3000' and he was showing high 150s and I was at 5500' and doing around 165 ground speed. I think you might have a little more tailwind than me since you were flying a tad bit more easterly. Quote

I'm still trying to squeak a few more kts out of her. I have raced 201er's J on a poker run, while it is faster then mine by a few knots, I out climb him. that gave me the advantage of getting to altitude faster and transitioning to cruise, on a 50 mile leg he couldn't close the gap.

Danb Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 Jeez I didn’t know your guys were on the race circuit, I was trying to fly as slow as I could do to all the traffic , I just hate running over people it so stressful, plus 18 GPH for a hamburger run is nuts, I still was burning 13.5 GPH I’m jealous.

Danb Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 Jeez Br I’d fall out of the sky at 8.5 Gph I had two J models, I do miss efficiency Quote
