However, I think some people on the list may be interested... I am flying a Cherokee Six (6 person single engine aircraft) to the May NANOG. Currently, two seats are occupied. I'm looking for additional people who would be interested in flying up with me. I plan to leave San Jose Sunday morning (5/23) around 9:00 to get to Eugene around Noon. I have four seats available. Plan is to share rental costs on the airplane, divided equally amongst myself and the passengers. The airplane rents for $112/hour and I estimate we will log around 7-8 hours on it. That's about $900 worst case. If we get 6 people in the plane, that works out to about $150 each. Fuel is included in the rental rate. I'm also planning to organize a side-trip to Ashland on Sunday night. There is an 8:00 PM performance of Othello in the Agnes Bowmer theater which is part of the Oregon Shakespeare festival. There are currently three seats occupied for that side trip, but the first three people who sign up for the bay area run have priority on the remaining three seats for the side-trip. I am a Private Pilot, Airplane Single Engine Land. I have an Instrument Rating. I have over 600 hours of flight experience, including more than 200 hours in actual instrument conditions. I have never been involved in an incident or accident. I have convinced four people who were afraid of flying even on commercial airliners to fly with me. One of them is working on his private pilot certificate. The other three fly every chance they get. If you have been in a small plane, then you know how much fun this can be. If you have not, this is a great opportunity to see aviation from a whole new perspective. Everyone in this plane can see out the front windows and hear everything that's happening with air traffic control. The flight from the bay area to Eugene is a beautiful flight with spectacular scenery along the way, including Mt. Shasta. We'll probably pass by Mt. Shasta about 500-1000' below the peak. The view is spectacular. If people are interested, we will even be able to circle the mountain. If you are interested, please e-mail me. I will reserve space in the order in which I receive email replies. Pilot: Owen DeLong Airplane: N33076 Piper Cherokee Six (300 HP) Disclaimer: As with any air travel, this flight would be subject to delays or cancellation due to mechanical or weather problems. This aircraft does not have the same weather capabilities as a commercial airliner, so there is a slightly higher chance of the flight being delayed or diverted due to weather. However, in late May, the odds of unfavorable weather are very very small. Owen
GPS included there? Planned cruising altitude? Are you planning on flying the Ashland trip at night at 12,500 ft or below since I assume there is no supplimental oxygen? Please be careful, you might want to ask the weight of the people that email you. Can I ask if you have flown this area before? What altitude are the obstructions enroute to Ashland at? Ive got a GPS I can loan you for that leg. Terrain would be my only concern. For all who dont know that plan a Cherokee 6 is a heck of a strong plane, usually used for light cargo by many companies (newspaper bundles, bank notes etc).

Yup a Cher. 6 is a really good solid a/c. Flown them many times. Piper Lances are also really good solid plane. Wish I owned one... Either.. I'd also say that Owen is a good solid pilot that does not do stewpid things in airplanes, at least not the several times I have flown with him in the bay area. I do believe he has flown a similar route many times and knows the area and its risks. Bottom line is that if I was still living in the bay area I'd take Owen up on this offer, as long as I got to log some of the time!. Yes I Am A Pilot or is that YIAAP.ORG ? jmbrown At 09:21 PM 4/4/99 -0400, you wrote:
