Were any of you Prowler types on here shooting low approaches into KEUG this afternoon around 1730-ish? Saw you from HWY99...rolled my windows down to hear the moto soundtrack. Lookin good
That field is part of one of our canned instrument round robin flight routes, so Prowlers do end up there once in a while. As a native Oregonian, I know Eugene is replete with hippies and other such unsavory characters, so I don't bring jets there, but that's just me.

I've never taken a jet there, but I know folks who have. That's not too far from where I grew up, but K-Falls is kind of a dump.

haha....tell me about it....I spent 20 years there before finally getting out
Just out of curiousity, do you have to stop anywhere for gas on that trip, or do you have enough range to shoot a couple approaches and then head home? Its normally the P-3's that I see (and the occaisonal VMFA(W) Hornet) around here, so this was a little unusual to me....

Nope, that's a relatively short route and it requires no stopping for gas. Under normal circumstances (and 3 drops), we can usually make it down to NASNI or Nellis on one bag of gas (one way).

Isn't needed unless the daily expires (72 hours on the road w/ same crew). There's always a transient crew at a military field to get you started and any civilian contract fuel place we plan for will have a start cart, etc and the people who know how to use it. If you have a land ASAP emergency and are forced to land somewhere that can't start you, a start cart will have to be brought in.

They're not all hippies. And hippies come in handy every once in a while, like when you're bored waiting at a bus stop...
I definitely heard something overhead yesterday, around 6. I saw a single plane fly in from the north, pull 180, and fly back north. Was that you guys? It didn't really look like a Prowler, but then again, I was on the ground.
