My heroes have always been cowboys and they all carried guns-
and they all rode horses-that is all but one.

Hey All,
Down safe and sound KSQL. Seems I strooed up and set the clock an hour ahead of where I needed to be. Oh well I'd rather fly harder than easier. Now I gotta figure out that spreadsheet, More comments to follow.

Hey All,
I do want to say fine fine event... I especially like GA events. Wish I had time to actually plan as I wonder about just going high and fly versus a bit more dodging lower down. That said It is nobody's fault but my own. Work (I deal in wildfire (forest fires) and now is planning preparation time), family (delivering kid to and from his work), spring (garden, lawn, etc), competing interests (golf mainly and training registered lab and photography) - this event is far easier to devote time to if I was retired and sitting around or if I was in Alberta in the dead of winter at 40 below. I did specifically buy the realair 260 and the FSD Navajo and seneca for this event but no time to fly em - another time perhaps. I do want to commend the committee for doing a GA event. Now maybe someday - turboprops. Thanks again.

PS Yes Paul I will do the spreadsheet.

Congrats Ed.
hey All,
Thanks!
Spreadsheet done. I was slow but I used less fuel than anyone! I probably should have flown a different aircraft first as this I knew was the slowest. Think I will go ahead and do the gold course just to see where a navajo would have fit in. Hopefully the spreadsheet is up that long - next couple weeks.
