We got back to NY yesterday. Our entire trip was mostly VMC. We were in actual for maybe an hour a half out of the total 16 hours. We filed IFR for 5 of 6 flights. Everything went well except for an unexpected GS failure while doing an ILS approach at DuPage. Both the localizer and glide slope needles worked fine until we got close to the outer marker. I noticed that we were a bit lower than the altitude on the chart and told Rick about it but he told me he was following the glide slope. I glanced at CDI at everything appeared to be 'right on'! I could see the runway ahead but thought that we were a bit low. Few minutes later, the controller asked for our altitude. I told her that we were at 1200'. She mentioned something abut a low altitude alert. I told her that we were 'right' on the glide slope and was startled to hear her saying that we should be higher at that point! Rick immediately added some power. Within 30 seconds or so, the flag started to show up confirming the malfunctioning GS, I checked the identifier and it worked fine, then the flag disappeared and the GS came alive. We landed uneventfully but was somewhat rattled by the event. It was a good thing that our first GS failure occurred in perfect VMC weather instead of IMC. Coming back to Michigan from Chicago, we decided to fly VFR following the shoreline. We persuaded my sister and her 3-year old daughter to fly to Lowell for an impromptu family gets together. We did not know whether they could handle the flight so we asked her husband to wait in the car at the airport while we flew west a bit to check everything out. After ten minutes or so in the air, we called her husband to let he know that he could start his ground trip to Lowell by himself and called ATC for flight following to Michigan VFR along the shoreline. The controller told us to stay out of Bravo airspace and to head north toward Wisconsin! Rick wondered why he did not send us south for a shorter route but did not question his order. The next controller asked for our intention and whether we wanted to cross the lake. We repeated our request to follow the shoreline heading to Y70. He told us that previous controller should have sent us south in the first place. This detour added 20 minutes or so to our trip but we had a chance to see Meigs field, the aquarium and the Chicago downtown area while flying over the lake within gliding distance to the shoreline. The return trip from Michigan to New York only took us just a bit over 4 hours (with about 20kts tailwind) in comparison to the previous 7-hours westbound trip (30+kts headwind). Having another off workday after the trip gave us a chance to relax. We went back to the airport this morning for a short flight from KPOU to KMGJ to check out the GS. The ILS 3 approach at KMGJ went without a hitch with both the localizer and glide slope needles performed normally. The GS fail event was probably due to a stuck needle but we would not want to do any real ILS approach until after the avionic shop checks it out. Rick and I reviewed our flights going through the goods, the bads and the uglies. Our failure to detect the malfunctioned GS early was the ugliest event which will be added to our 'never-again' list.

I was thinking we all just jumped in our planes when we saw you guys taxiing. All in all, we did manage pretty well. Well, ok, there were the issues of losing sight of Jim and Gail way up ahead then the arrival going all weird after passing Ripon. Ok, the real reason is we want to be close to wherever MontBlack parks PMC 2.0. I figure that's near Atlas...ergo, I want to be next to Atlas.

Ah you made the mistake of asking permission beforehand! You should have just bought one and snuck it into your Tee-shirt wardrobe and said "Oh this old thing?" Look. My wife and I both work. We've got two kids. Her income is much larger than mine. She is exceedingly tolerant of my expenditures for and on the Bonanza(*). There is no way in heck am I going to start a vaguely aviation related ruckus over a stinkin' tee shirt. (*) This weekend I spent 1.3 AMU on new front seat belts. Her response? "Wow, how cheap.

There was a really fun one at Old Rhinebeck (NY94) in the summer of 1992, IIRC. A few people were actually able to fly into Old Rhinebeck, the rest landed at Sky Park (46N).

Use the old tee shirts for buffing that Bonanza up to a high gloss.

Montblack = A queer Austin Powers Hollywood, are you listening? It would show to a limited audience (probably a very intoxicated audience) and the venues would also be very limited, (OSH, Pickneyville, Alexis Park Inn, sleezy Las Vegas gay strip joints maybe). But I think it would be a great project, count me in for one copy. I'm thinking add about 100 lbs and 10" to Tom Cruise? He's working his way into a "fairylike, frolicsome, gay, go-go, swinging" type of a guy.
