If you want a room at the Devonshire Hotel you best get crackin ! Sounds like there is a race at the local raceway and the rooms are limited ! BOOM ! I didn't care to drive to Landcaster . If checking the winds Thursday nite , Landcaster may have to be an option ? RB |

How about starting a new thread on slc? That way we won't mix up the two weekends. We can make a plan after we know who and how many. Cubes |

Regarding Rosamond and the Devonshire , there are NO special rates for Military, AAA or Senior . It is $75.00/nite + tax . Must be race weekend at the dirt track ! Not complaining , I like a place that is close to my Sky Machine ! >:D My arrival/no arrival will depend on the Desert winds next week . Landing on Rodgers Dry Lake Bed might be a better option ? If it's good enough for the X-15 it's good enough for me ! BOOM ! RB |

You and Jethro Bodine should have no problem ! Spellin that is ! The Devonshire sounds like a few of the Motels we have/had along the old "Route 66" on Foothill Blvd in Cucamonga ! A lot of history . Might get "lucky" and find something interesting inside the walls at the old Devonshire ! BOOM ! If the Desert winds don't kick up it should be a good time ! Another cold front is sked to move across Calif. late next week ? RB |

I just got home from formation training. It was a fantastic weekend and my intro to formation flying. I met a lot of great people: I found myself surrounded by NASA test pilots, war veteran fighter jocks, and commercial pilots. I think it says a lot about the quality of people and the plane we all fly. We briefed on Friday, and flew Saturday and Sunday. High cross winds did add to the fun a bit. We also got a tour of the Rosamond Thorp collection hidden away. My thanks to Tony and family, Cubes, Fraser, Scott, Brian. Lou |
