Hey all, if anyone in Arizona wants to come by the Airshow at Glendale Airport at 110th ave and Glendale. I'll be there with a Cessna 208 Caravan. I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday. I'm gonna park my bike by the plane, they don't know it yet but the Roadster will be part of the display.
I can't get ya in for free but it'll be fun.

Jeez..I Wish! Its a GREAT airplane, flys like a big 172, but, it says FEDEX on the side, I only get to play with it once in a while now. The downside of moving up.
If I had the money it would be a Pliates PC-12, single engine PT6 Turbo-prop, way faster, and with a cargo door the R would fit.
On another note the Roadster was a hit. Answered as many questions on it as the 208, I want a commission on the ones BMW sells
There was a Ural there with a sidecar, so we had a great conversation and I even sat on it. flat twin, we talked maintence issues and I offered the use of my twin-max for a carb sync for a ride, Its a deal he said.
Hooked up with a couple dudes who fly gyro-copters and got a ride offered, so thats in the near future, and they had Subaru engines in them!
Rode on a teathered hot-air ballon, it was a GREAT day! Got a ride on my bike, hung out at the airport and met fellow motorcyclist's and pilot's.
Then there was the F-16's, the Migs, the Stearmans, the aerobatic's, too much to tell. Did I mention I was supposed to be working? OOPPSS I forgot myself, oh well.
Now all I have to do is suffer thru one more day, its a chore, but I'll tuff it out.

I got to go aboard the PC-12 at EBACE in Geneva this past Spring - massive cargo capacity - the cargo door is just about the whoe side of the airplane. With the variable pitch prop - it's quite a plane!If I had the money it would be a Pliates PC-12, single engine PT6 Turbo-prop, way faster, and with a cargo door the R would fit.
Enjoy the show.
