Southern Buyer Needs to Sit in Your Cruisiar

I have a "buyer" nibbling at my Cruisair.
He lives in Slidell Lousiana - I am in California.

Would somebody in the South who has a Cruisair be willing to extend him the courtesy
allowing him to sit in ( and drool on) your cruisair ?

No way I can tell him if he will "fit" or not.

If you are in his neck of the woods with a Bellanca to sell, he and his partner seem keen on buying one.
Keen enough to go out to get a tail dragger endorsement.

Might be better for mine to stay here in California where it has always lived.
Maybe better for him to get a bird used to the humidity of the south/east/Midwest ?

>>Be warned- this guy likes to talk ! <<

Please call Jim at 504-259-7461


Thanks Larry
 
I tell people to sit in a mooney. or a smart car.

One guy actually asked me if you hear the radio speaker without a headset since he didn't have one. I told him if he didn't mind sharing a phone booth with a running lawnmower he'd probably be OK.
 
Hi Larry,
I don't know if this request has been satisfied or or what the buyers definition of "in the neighborhood" is but, he is certainly welcome to come sit in my Cruisemaster. I am near DFW airport.

Jack... thanks.

I will call him up and tell him.
I think the "flying flag" went to tennesee.. I dunno which is closer.

BTW.. I still want to return your baggage compartment lock. Wont fit the cruisair, but somebody
can use it, I'm sure.

Larry :)
 
The 'Flying Flag' is at the corner of AL, GA and TN, near KCHA.
Based at KAPT.
I live in Georgia, but I can see Alabama and Tennessee from my house:

I talked to the guy, nice conversation... :)
Anyone wishing for gliders and/or hangliders is welcome to show up!

It depends on where you are at and what you are planning to accomplish...
Most low wing Bellancas are pretty fast! :)
 
I was wanting to get some pattern work and just work on what else needed touching up.
Located in the MS GulfCoast.

I think it is possible.
We are some 7 round-trip hours apart, give or take half an hour depending on whether I fly my plane there or you fly yours here.
I don't do aviation for a living (I do it for a life) so I am open to all sort of arrangements
Bring your plane over and I'll sign you off some glider instruction time... :)

Is that a "power loss emergency landing" practice joke? ha
Seriously, I think I might need some of that also.
Anything for my family to do up in that area while I'm their, wife 2 boys 11-15.

Flying a glider is a perpetual 'where am I gonna land' emergency situation while forced to fly in coordinated mode (or drop like a piano)... :)

That trains you to face the 2 most deadly emergencies in GA, because you build the instinct to *ALWAYS* look for a field and because flying coordinated makes borderline impossible the dreaded 'stall-and-spin into a crater' end of a flight.
If you want to fly some spins we can do that too, but at altitude... ;-)

If I had a saying, no one should be allowed to fly behind the oily, noisy, stinky thing-that-blows until they solo a glider. Maybe that's why I don't have a saying... :)

Kids?
All sort of stuff!
Hang gliding, caving, rafting, boating, bicycling, rock climbing, Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Chattanooga Aquarium (in my opinion better that Atlanta's) Huntsville and NASA an hour-and-a-half away, The River Walk, and on, and on, and on...
Atlanta's 'Bodies' is worth the trip...

The wife?
'Unclaimed Baggage' in Scottsboro, stores that recover missing bags from airlines (even ships!) and sell *ALL* sort of stuff at great prices!
Lots of Army surplus stores and other stores that wife here travels and loots...
Chattanooga is a great place to visit, some call it 'The Colorado of the East'
For good reason... :)
 
That all sounds good to me.
So let me know what slots are open for you as since my children are in school I would have to work around that or maybe just come without them.
Thanks,
Phil
