Enough B-52 flying; not enough 172; enjoyable little airplane; enjoyed 182,
also; enjoyed 177RG more, though.
'Reminds me: SWMBO and I flew a 150 into Mackinac Island, MI, one Sunday
for lunch at the Grand Hotel; joined right in the pattern, etc., with the
Citations, etc., ('course, coupla of 'em had to go around while I landed and

What? Your 150 couldn't keep up the pace set by the Citations
and Learjets? You just weren't trying hard enough. *smiles*
For the non-flying, a Cessna 150 is small 2-seat, overhead wing,

The Citation stall speed (minimum speed necessary to stay

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
I finally made time to cut the grass today, it'd been way too long and part of the yard was a total hay field. My wife had tried to start the old Snapper last week but it wouldn't go. Today I discovered that the auto choke had stuck on, its done that before too. Its one of those systems where you push the throttle all the way up to engage. I'm thinking its time to convert to a manual choke. I've found that the detent for max-throttle isn't very pronounced so occasionally it'll slip the choke on while I'm mowing and the engine spits and pops until I figure out whats going on and slip it back just slightly. -Curt Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 12:40:39 -0400 From: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Lost again?

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
A 150 is capable of slow flight at about 30-35 mph, and when you have a
nice headwind you can almost hover. The windows open too so you can
stick your arm out, and shout at people on the ground. This makes for
great fun over golf courses, in particular when the golf course is
located on the final approach to the airport, and the engine is
throttled back and it makes very little noise.
Not that I would have any direct knowledge of that sort of thing...

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
I would liken a 150 as the Volkswagen of private planes.
I started in a 150, then a 172, then a 182, then a Piper, and finally to a
Beech Bonanza V35 with full IFR capabilities (all my Dad's planes.) Dad had an
instructor's rating, so I often got to fly left seat in the Bonanza, unless we
were full IFR.
I don't like having a shoebox on my head, thank you very much.
We had an AP guy at our FBO that was old as the hills. Smokey as he was
known, had a Luscomb that he used to fly to Florida in every winter. We often
joked that we could drive to Florida quicker than Smokey could fly...

Today I discovered that the auto choke had stuck on, its done that before too. Its one of those systems where you push the throttle all the way up to engage. I'm thinking its time to convert to a manual choke. I've found that the detent for max-throttle isn't very pronounced so occasionally it'll slip the choke on while I'm mowing and the engine spits and pops until I figure out whats going on and slip it back just slightly. -Curt Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 12:40:39 -0400 From: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Lost again?

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
At least there was a tower involved, to some degree. After dropping the
glider I was heading to the runway as fast a possible to get ready for the
next tow - full flaps in the 150/150. Looked down to see a Cherokee landing
under me. He never announced on the unicom, nothng, just zoomed under and
landed. I had no idea that a 150/150 could climb that fast when full
throttle was applied with full flaps! Didin't have to change my pants
afterwards, but it was close.

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
Our local airport is only staffed part-time. If you are landing at
night and there's nobody in the tower, you double-click your mic on a
particular frequency and the landing lights switch on. I don't know how
planes coordinate landing at unmanned airfields, but I assume there's a
protocol.

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
Unicom frequency, all small airports have sort of a CB freq you just
get on and announce what you are up to. Others are supposed to listen
and do the same. Supposed to.
I had a fun afternoon, I believe I had related before, wherein the Air
Guard F-100s were practicing IFR in the pattern. I was doing touch and
goes with my instructor, and announcing properly under tower control.
We were at 1600ft where we were supposed to be. I hear the tower tell
an F-100 flight your traffic is 12 o'clock 1 mile at 1200 you will pass
over at 400. My instructor was about 3 milliseconds faster than I was
and yanked the throttle back and shoved the wheel into the dash, and a
few seconds later 2 F-100s passed over us, right over us, close enough
to see the rivets.
We were both rattled and after getting the airplane under control I
asked what that was about, meaning the tower FU, and he said we almost
scraped some paint. Uh, yeah. I landed the airplane with no further
conversation and as we were taxiing past the terminal building where the
tower was, he says stop here so I did and he jumps out without a word
and was making a very purposeful line toward the building. Hmmm. so I
went on over to the ramp and parked the airplane and got it sorted, he
shows up about 10min later, still red and very angry. He tells me he
chewed out the controllers something fierce, they were clueless as to
what had happened. Back then you could just go up to the tower, I used
to do that occasionally. I don't think there was ever any sort of
incident report made, but it would have been a serious CF, like fatally
serious for 3 airplanes and 4 people, had we both not been paying close
attention to the radio.
I was 16 at the time, still a bit away from getting my license and had
not even been driving that long, that put the fear into me about flying
airplanes and paying very very close attention to everything going on
around -- situational awareness as he called it. It was a good lesson
about a lot of things.

Re: [MBZ] Lost again? Test
The rains have come here, or at least a little. The area I filled last spring has LEAPED up from the ground. I'm not sure what the grass is that took first but its a broadleaf, probably timothy, it looks like hay. I suspect they put that in the mix to get SOMETHING growing and it'll get crowded out by a smaller bladed grass later. In a shadier spot of the lawn I got some real fine bladed stuff from the same mix. Or maybe all the mix grass died in the hot sun... -Curt Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:50:26 -0500 From: OK Don okd...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Lost again?
