Another visitor from Hawaii

Post by Alex from Hawaii »

Hi guys,

I enjoyed some nice flights at Daniels and Woodstock a few years ago with Fred and Jim and some other folks - I'm here again for business and a long visit with my parents in Mclean, and I brought my gear this time around. I also know Jeff from his days in Hawaii, and I met Juanito at last year's Rat Race. I would love to get out and fly with you folks on any likely looking days over the next few weeks (especially weekends). Is this forum the best place for me to find out who is planning to fly and where, or can I call one of you for that kind of information on days I'm free to fly? Thanks for any information or advice you can provide. I look forward to flying with you.

Alex

PS. Hi Sandy! Sorry our trips didn't overlap by more than a couple days. Hope you got into the air over here.

Hi Alex! PG pilots around here are few enough that they coordinate mostly by phone.

Frequent flyers:

Laszlo (202 386-0163)
Stefan also (703 898-7182) and
Tom (703 628-8261).

I don't get out during the week much- but could be tempted!

Thanks, Hugh! I will keep those numbers handy. My mobile number is (808)223-0144, and my local number is (703)821-2359. Just in case anyone is desperate enough for flying buddies to call a visiting pilot like me. My schedule is flexible, so call anytime and I will probably be able to get out. I look forward to flying here again and meeting some more metro area pilots.

Hey Jeff! Sorry you couldn't come out today, it was kind of nice at Woodstock. I'm working all weekend at the Folklife Festival on the mall but maybe I'll see you later on - I'm here until August 7 and then back to Oahu.
