Well we know Jerry is a southern flyer.
Northern flyers consider a good day when there was no ice and it stayed above minimums until we got it back down onto the ground.

POG was supposed to be about buses. I think that theory has gone down the tubes. It is a bunch of former NYers who will sit around swapping lies about flying.
Or maybe we just form a POG chapter and call it POG POOP.

Of course after I posted this the Flying forum miraculously popped up......
And truk4u had it right. All the guys who flew over there go somewhere every weekend to eat, so with $3.00 avgas, it was a $45 hamburger for me. I am more the cross country flyer, so it was just a nice diversion from being in the hanger doing my best WWJD, what-would-Jon-do, imitation whilst cleaning the hanger up from my Scout maintenance (see photo) when the hoard of RV'ers descended on me and forced me to pull the V tail out. I am sure they just wanted something to add some class to their gaggle
You guys need to post some photos of your planes or former planes in Ken's case

I hope you are coming to the POG rally and towing the Scout. I want to see it.

Well I think we are going to be able to make it to the POG rally. We had a company / customer function that weekend, but it got rescheduled, so it may be a go. Although it is almost 1000 miles from Houston to Polk City and the driving time shows to be +/-15 hours, to miss the inaugural event would be a shame. And since part of my enjoyment in life is having fun at the expense of others, this seems like a perfect setting. Right Lew?
And as I need to get my wife to drive part of the way and don't figure we will need a toad for two days of hanging out, we will most likely leave the Scout and the H3 at the house and hopefully someone who drove 2 hours to get there will take pity on us and drive us around if need be.

Well by the time I typed the post above, Jon had already posted the sweet airplane photos.
The paint on the 150 looks pretty new. Ever have to change out the clutch on the starter? I learned to fly in a 150 and it was a great plane. Until in inadvertantly spun it doing take off and departure stalls by myself
Now the 210 is the rig. Does the radar still work? I have only had NEXRAD in the cockpit for 8 months and I don't know how I flew IFR without it. I have been well pleased with XM Weather. Do you have any panel shots?
Here are my before and after, but the after is not current.

I bought the 150 about 1 1/2 years ago as a toy and it is Jamestown, NY with my son-in-law now while he gets his instrument rating in it.
The 210 has been my workhorse and has RDR160 color radar, Strikefinder, is certified for known ice, and has AC. I have perfect timing in that I redid the entire panel in 1996 just before the Garmin revolution.
It has dual KX165s, a KLN90B, ADF, dual HSI, dual Transponder with the #1 being the new style King digital. Everything works. I get XM through my 396 so if I am dumb enough to tangle with a thunderstorm I better quit flying.
I've put about 2800 hours on it. I'm now flying it LOP after 18 years of ROP.
