Orthodontist, lucky enough to fly between offices.

Where are you located?  I have a few Pediatric Dentistry offices, but I'm considering putting one far enough away I can write off a plane.

I live in San Diego and this is where I have my primary office and my plane is based at KMYF. I fly to KIPL, KREI, KUDD with the offices with in a few miles of each airport. Fun way to commute! How about you?

So are you saying the next time I stop in Perry, I should not have any AU decals on the plane nor wear an orange shirt? [Who was the nice man with static-cling AU decals on his tail at the Gatlinburg fly-in???]

 

Lunch was good the last time, and somehow schools were never mentioned. I won't hold Athens against you, my high school was just 25 minutes away, red & black Bulldogs too. But I learned how to cheer for Tigers instead, and can make an eagle shadow with my  hands. See? All that time in college wasn't wasted!  :D

 

In the meantime, back to work, the machines are waiting on me to get put together the right way.

I can tolerate the AU decals.  If you show up with gator stickers, I'll have to burn your plane.

Are you the one responsible for making sure the milk gets bagged properly?  :P

I raise beef cattle--calves look after the milking, except if a cow dies, then I become Mom. As long as enough of you guys like beefsteak I should be able to keep Mooney flying.

Perhaps we should just have a WAR EAGLE fly in.

Now THERE's a good idea! I could stay west of the mountains and come down, that will make weather less of an issue for me and almost take icing worries off the table. Unless it falls from the sky like last night's freezing rain. Getting across to central NC and back can be challenging, but I can reach the State of Alabama going west of Knoxville if necessary.

 

P.S. Rob--Alligators are neat to watch when properly protected from them. "Gator" stuff deserves to be burnt, long and hot!

Hey Mooney 1401,  your Mooney's ident rings a bell, but probably from one of your flight into Montréal's TCU.

Ottawa TCU and Québec TCU, better known as "Les Capitales", are also located in the same building, but I don't work those airspace!

But next time I hear your call sign, I'll say Hi!

Pierre
