Vacations - Whatcha Doin?

[calcmandan]

Flying my plane to Bend Oregon to visit the last blockbuster video on earch.

Next month i fly my best friend to Catalina Island for his 46th. We will spend the weekend there and stop at Harris Ranch on the return for steaks.

I will be getting a full brisket to smoke for September.

Great minds think alike.

We made plans to hit Harris on our way home from Davis

The beef is just better there than here.

Unfortunately time got away and we just decided to keep going and got home.

Enjoy Catalina’s new runway. Provide me a pirep please.

Thanks yeah, Harris ranch has a narrow runway so it'll be my challenge to nail the centerline and grease it.

I'm really looking forward to landing at catalina. That new runway is so beautiful. The SeaBees and Marine Expeditionary Force did a fantastic job on such a short time.

Sure beats pothole alley as it was before.

I've landed on Catalina with rented airplanes (non-retract), and wasn't looking forward to taking our Lance there.

The new runway is making it all the better!

Now the question in - when am I going? Not like it's a far haul for me.

I didn't even know it was shut down until AOPA had the article about the reopening. Blew me away how fast the navy took care of business. I also couldn't believe they received $150k a year on maintenance and it was still getting worse by the day.

Glad to know there won't be any FOD on the runway to knock out any squat switches.

The fact that they have been getting all that money and still grow potholes is criminal. Damn Conservancy!

The shuttle ride is 45 mins, expensive, and leaves every OTHER hour. Be advised.
