September 17 – 21, 2014 It’s hard to believe that this was only the 6th International Cessna 195 Club annual fly-in that we have attended, because it really does feel like a family reunion. Over the past 6 years we have developed strong, life-long friendships with so many of the 195 Club members. The Cessna 195 […]
Nemacolin Woodlands Resort
September 3 – September 6, 2014 A week of extremes… from camping in a muddy field in Iowa to staying in a beautiful resort in Pennsylvania. Gotta love aviation! On Wednesday morning, after a nice breakfast, we made our way to Landmark Aviation FBO on the north side of Pearson airport. We met up with […]
Blakesburg fly-in
August 29 – September 1, 2014 We departed midday on August 29 trying to time things right to avoid the worst of the weather making it’s way westbound along our flightpath. The flight was good and we really only had to skirt through one bigger line of showers when we were getting closer to Blakesburg, […]
No Oshkosh for the Arnold’s
For some reason CF-KCS just didn’t want to go to Oshkosh this year. In the afternoon on July 29 we launched off for Oshkosh. Everything was going along smoothly. We were in and out of the clouds along our IFR route just northwest of London, ON when the engine “coughed”. This is certainly not uncommon […]
Chicago Micro-distillery Tour
July 19-21, 2014 – A long weekend, self-guided micro-distillery tour in Chicago. What better way for the two of us to spend a long weekend away in Chicago than eating and drinking our way around the city! On Saturday we managed to visit 3 micro-distilleries – Koval Distillery, Rhine Hall Distillery and CH Distillery. Our […]
Will Fly for Food!
With selling our condo, buying a house, hosting a hanger party, moving out of the condo April 28 and moving into the house May 15 there was very little time left to focus on the 195’s annual. As a result, our 2014 flying season got off to a slow start. When June arrived we were […]
2nd Annual Cessna 195 Club “Caravan”
Gaston’s White River Resort & Hot Springs, Arkansas – May 23 to 26, 2014 The 2nd official International Cessna 195 Club “Caravan” group trip was organized as a 4-day adventure during Memorial Day long weekend. There were two planned stops and participants could join for one or the other or both.
Kick-off Flying Season Hangar Party
Saturday, April 19, 2014 I have not been up in our 195 since October and Kurtis only flew a couple times between then and now. It was just so cold and so snowy this winter that flying wasn’t too appealing. This is certainly an unusual sentiment in the Arnold household. Since owning our 195 we […]
Cocktail party January 17
Another successful and very enjoyable cocktail party. Course 1 – Queso fundido, mushrooms, guacamole & corn tortillas Cocktail 1 – Peady’s muddle (mezcal, lime juice, jalapeño simple syrup)
Surprise birthday cocktail party
Several months ago our friend Marilyn Cooper approached Edward, Kurtis and I to ask if we could help plan and execute a surprise 60th birthday party for her husband, Richard. The party was to be modelled after the multi-course paired food and cocktail events that we have hosted at our condo several times over the […]
