Not likely.... just sprung the baby and the mom from the hospital today! Congratulations on the baby. 1st? It's amazing when the hospital lets you go home, *solo*, with your first baby. What? No doctors or nurses around anymore, just you, me, and this needy infant - help!! Watching first time parents getting out the door, with their little bundle of joy, to go to say, grandma's house, is a hoot - it's like watching the circus packing up to leave town. Watching parents of two or three kids, run through the same maneuver, is a lesson in efficiency, traveling light, and getting out the door fast... there's one clean diaper left in the glove box - I think. Head count three kids? Yup ...bye bye. Good luck with your new little aviator. Give *Mom* our best wishes. -- Montblack Back to top Allan Meuli Guest Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2003 12:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Duluth - Blue Angles this weekend Quote: Congratulations on the baby. 1st? Yes, she is our first. My wife seems to be a natural at handling babies, and I am slowly getting the hang of it. This is definetly something totally new, even though we planned and planned ahead. There was no way of knowing one week ago what life would be like today. I had an idea that it would be just wonderful, and it really is, more than I could have imagined.

One year the Concord did what they called a "turn and burn," which was a low pass and go around. The noise of the Concord when they poured on the coal scared the Bee Jeepers out of my kids who were all under ten at the time.

I had been looking at various 4 place models. I have 4 kids now, and a 5th on the way. The Six is a minivan on wings. I can still load all the kids, the wife, the dog, bags for 3 days or so and still fill the tanks. It is getting pretty close to max now that they are growing (oldest is 13 and is almost as big as me). Unfortunatly, the next step would be a Caravan, which is out of my price range.

Yeah, we tried to find a good Six when we were looking to replace our Warrior, and couldn't find one. So, we settled on our pristine Cherokee 235 Pathfinder, which is just an awesome plane. We've got darn near the same useful load (1460 pounds) as a Six -- we just can't have any more kids!

Yep, that stuff happens a lot at 3:00 am. I think you should go for the Chewbacca defense anyway...
