Tramp - By the way, I remember Chester. When I was at RPI I dated a girl who lived in Monroe. I think she's a cop or something now. Man, that was forever ago... |

Reckon I'm still just too caucasian to use the word 'pimp' in any context that doesn't involve a description of someone resembling Huggy Bear.
The Kennedy/Lincoln thing is a classic. I added what stars I could. |

seanp- would be great if you were here in late october for the 2nd annual Headless Horseman Run....we take 218 along the river.
Maybe I oughta stop in at JAG and see if we can use the lot outside ike hall for stoppies. where's that lady work, now? (cop-wise)...i may know her. I actually hail from/live in Sugar Loaf, the little hippie hamlet on the chester/warwick border.
lowflyer- thanks- what craft you fly these days, anyway? i'll be getting further hours in a zlin sometime this month. my cfi has a couple. |

I don't think I'll be up there this October, (maybe September or August though) but I should be there in October of 2009. It seems like a long way off, but October of 2003 seems like just yesterday.
218, yeah, that's the road - kick-ass view, kick-ass curves. I remember there was a good restaurant at the north end of it, too. In Cornwall, I think? It's been a while since I ate there too...
I have no idea where she works now. When I last talked with her, (in the summer of 1999 I think) she was working as a dispatcher or something for one of the small-town PD's. I don't know if she ever moved up to wearing a uniform. |

I spend most of my time in small SEP planes. The other day I was fortunate enough to get behind the stick of a brand-spankin new Columbia 400. |

My dreams too until last week. That plane is one sweet ride. I am a high-wing low and slow sort of guy myself, but given the chance, I'll don the O2 mask and strap on twin turbos in a heartbeat. I love the 182, but the Columbia makes that feel like a dump truck compared to a Ferarri. This one was G1000-equipped (all glass cockpit) too! |

Tramp - hell, I don't remember the name. I have a hard enough time remembering route numbers from around there. That could be it. I remember that it was set up like a house, and when you get there you walk in to a screened porch, and then the restaurant was inside the house structure, (if that makes any sense).
Anyway, I am looking forward to exploring that area again, with a whole different viewpoint - instead of an inmate of the gray prison, I'll be one of the guys who runs it. |

Seanp- yep- that'd be "Painters' Tavern", alright....so-named for all the artwork displayed and tagged on the walls.
Lowflyer- hi-wing low and slow describes me for the bulk of my upstairs time, as well.
my preference is tail-draggers with sticks.
just about anything makes that skylane feel like a dump truck. it's kinds the bmw k1200 LT of the hi-wing world. were i a wealthy fella, i'd grab one in a heartbeat. that and a Pitts.
...and a Citabria...

Good deal. Another thing I remember is a guy named "Rooster" at the Bear Mountain Inn, (I think - south of WP on the East side of the road) and him buying us drinks when I visited there before I was a cadet, (when I was still enlisted.) That was a long time ago though - back in 1994 or 1995. Those were the days... |

Nope. Tracy...
She'd be about 33 now. (Damn! I'm getting old!) |
