Mike, I think Mike backed out and Trucker is taking Mike's place but not 100% sure cause I have not seen any recent post from Trucker. I am hoping to know for sure by the end of today. I will call u this evening

Hi everybody, yea i'm ok with Mt. Vernon, IL. John; I just found out late yesterday evening that i have a CAP meeting this saturday morning 10 am; they have moved our meetings around so much here lately can't keep up with them; but i would be free after that, i'm also good for a night mission John if u are. Or we could try and do it Sunday, right now wx is looking good for next weekend. Just let me knw; or maybe one of the other offers could help out if John doesn't want a night mission; either way just let me know where we're at.

What time does your CAP meeting end? Transport may still end in daylight, tho a night arrival doesn't matter to me; might to Carrie tho.
Sunday works too.
Lets watch wx for a few days and decide then.

CAP meeting starts 10 am supposed to go til 1500, but by then it's just a BS session; i can cut out of there around noon to 1300, it's like right here at my home airport; MAW ( Malden ); 2 miles from my house. I agree let's watch the wx this week and go from there. I'll give cell info as we get closer to this weekend and see if it's gonna come together. Harold Gough...

anytime is good for me. I do have one question though. what is wx? lol. I am kinda new at this.

[JohnC]

wx=weather
kind of like "lol"
LOL.

[FlyingTrucker]

That's alright Carrie, we pilots talk in code most of the time; force of habit. CAP= Civil Air Patrol.

[CarrieBowman]

You guys sure do lol, I am learning quickly though. Pretty soon I will be talking pilot slang haha. I hope wx is good this weekend. I am anxious for these babies to meet their families.

Hi Everybody,

I have an update. I would like to do this Sunday if we can. My copilot is not available Sat. and I am out of night currency as of this past Sat which is an issue with the late start we would get Sat afternoon. Any problems along the route Carrie, as far as Bloomington dropoff?

I don't know about Sunday afternoon right now, can't promise anything. I sometimes have to leave back out on the road Sunday's after Church, i will not know this information until about 1600 Friday afternoon when i get my next week's dispatch. I wouldn't be available till like 1300 on Sunday if i can go at all, same time as availability on Sat. If another pilot wants to maybe fill in for me on Sat. morning so this mission can go, feel free and i'll step aside. I'll keep watching the post.
