I can be bought. - From: Close Our Flight Plans: Down Safely In Gaithersburg
"real" story? oh, better not in writing! We can talk...

what you don't want to hear back on terra - From: Close Our Flight Plans: Down Safely In Gaithersburg
You showed it could be done, with bumps and bruises, through bad weather and dead batteries. Be nice to us you have been following the trip, land and air. Warn us what song, pun, or title you never want to hear from us. And be kind in regaling us with your "war stories"--I'm sure for some "you had to be there" to appreciate them. Now I will await Judy's book to find out the REAL story that could not make it on the blog!

glad you're all safely back - From: Close Our Flight Plans: Down Safely In Gaithersburg
That's it - just glad you are all back home. I assume everyone will sleep tonight!

Well done, all - From: Sunday 1 June in Marysville OH: Morning Musings On The Final Leg
Congratulations to the entire team for a spendiforous effort and accomplishment. The pix were amazing, and will bring back many memories. It was great living the trip vicariously....I'll never have this to look back on otherwise. I admire your group skills and careful consideration for each other. It was a fabulous group experience, and I'm sure you're all much richer for it. Here's to more happy flying.....hugs...Mom Bradt

almost home - From: Sunday 1 June in Marysville OH: Morning Musings On The Final Leg
A grand adventure, and one that you will all remember! I look forward to seeing the next note that says everyone is safely home, and will eventually get caught up on the postings I've not managed to read yet.

Another pool done - From: Get Back To Where You Once Belonged: Walla Walla
Congratulations to Danny Hayes, he won the pool on who would require medical attention first. We all wanted to pick Bob. Also, seems it is too late to put a pool together on who would require psycological help the first. Here's hoping for good or at least adequate weather before you all start looking like biker chicks.

a fault and battery - From: Wilsonville Reflections on 18-20 May while Cooling Our Heels, Aurora Airport Oregon
must be my writing isn't clear. Earlier, they thought they needed a new battery, but ended up not getting one, just wire brushed corroded terminals and that seemed to do the job...but they were wrong. I myself remember the battery on 624 as having been sluggish on more than one occasion over the past few years, so I was NOT sorry to see it replaced, esp as I'm flying in that plane on this trip.

great update - From: Leaning Through a Launch Window...Wed 21 May Outside Portland
Judy- You write well enough to make it seem I am still with the group on the trip. The photos really nicely supplement the story. Great job. Geoff P.S.--Riding home on a commercial airliner is just plain B-O-R-I-N-G and a literal pain in the butt. What a drag.

How FUN! - From: Helicycle Sighting in Olympia
Judy and Team, Thanks for including us in your adventure! Be blessed with BLUE SKYS and timely flights! One note, BJ Schramm was the inventor of the Helicycle... I will leave the helicopter talk up to Clayton. I am sure he will comment when he reads your great blog! Hey, another first for me, I have never entered a comment on a blog before! Thanks again for stretching my worldview! Jackie

great pics - From: Morning of May 14th: Page AZ to Flagstaff AZ
Wow, the Grand Canyon must have been quite an experience. I've been to the West Rim, but would love to see it from the air someday. Sounds like you're going to have a lot of good stories to tell. How exciting for you all. I look forward to reading the blogs. Keep safe...from Ruth's cousin Karen

I give up..... - From: Wilsonville Reflections on 18-20 May while Cooling Our Heels, Aurora Airport Oregon
So the Cherokee got a new battery on Monday. Then cleaning the terminals didn't fix the problem on Tuesday, so it got another new battery.... So what WAS the problem with the Cherokee?

stocking up - From: Santa Fe to Gallup NM and Finally Page AZ...Bucky has a birthday...
Joe, your note gave me a moment to seek the course of a quote related to fish, company, and three days. the closest I came was Cf. [Plautus Miles Gloriosus l. 741] nam hospes nullus tam in amici hospitium devorti potest, quin, ubi triduom continuom fuerit, iam odiosus siet, no host can be hospitable enough to prevent a friend who has descended on him from becoming tiresome after three days. I stocked up on cereal, yogurt and egg whites so I could at least manage DIY breakfast. My hostess and I are both sitting in a lovely living room bashing out email and catching up on our individual and collective lives. Life is good.

Lake Powell should be nice - From: Santa Fe to Gallup NM and Finally Page AZ...Bucky has a birthday...
I hope the crew can get a good look at Lake Powell while there, from air and maybe by boat too. Judy, you might want to stop by the grocery store and bring in a couple bags of food to break the news to your folks that you might be there a "few" days.

It's all about the dragon - From: Covington & Memphis: Unvarnished truth and stripped gears
Whatever you guys and gals do, make sure you keep that little mascot of yours happy 24/7. Did you remember to feed him? The starter snafu? Black dragon magic? I'm just sayin... Have fun folks and stay safe! Mer PS -- Bill did you find The King?

Stuck in AR - From: Covington & Memphis: Unvarnished truth and stripped gears
Now you know what I mean about those nice AR people, Stubblefield perhaps being the only exception(just kidding, Joe). Hope to join up with you enroute tomorrow. I have my new Turn coordinator and new wiring harness, just need final install, which is simple. The avionics folks here in Mena soldered the wiring harness and told me some donuts would be acceptable payment! Larry

HAD TO LEAVE EARLY - From: Covington & Memphis: Unvarnished truth and stripped gears
Good luck to the rest of Dragon Flight 2008. Dan, Bill Davis and I had to turn back to GAI/FDK due to weather for the rest of the week. We were blessed with a very good tail wind, home from BPK to FDK, wheels down at 1930 local. Thanks to all on the Dragon Flight for the fellowship and experience. We will continue to follow your progress and keep you in our prayers.

Tailwinds! - From: May the Fourth Be With You! They're Off!!
Have a great time and may you only encounter tailwinds on this trip. Dick - remember what your instructor taught you: there's nothing as useless as the air above you, the runway behind you, and fuel in the truck!

Glad Bucky has a chance to see the country. By the way, very few people know Bucky's back story... If enough people ask, we will make up another one.
