Day 8 - Riding the Batmobile

We were glad to be out of last nights hell hole and happy to be landing at VICKSBURG TALLULAH. We where given the royal treatment with one of the ground staff waving us in to our parking spot like the they do for the big jet liners. It did make us laugh but like the professional team we are ,we pretended it was normal !!! :-)

The staff were extra helpful and welcoming. We had wireless internet, air conditioning, tv and the usually big pilot lounge. We were offered the BATMOBILE for a courtesy car. This van was something special and became the cruisemobile for rides into town for lunch, petrol and to try and find Pennzoil air cooled 2 stroke oil (do you think we could anywhere?). We even slept in the Batmobile before we took off the next morning.

We went for a local flight later that morning to go visit the local Ultralight field. On the way back we watched the cropdusters from what seem like way above at 500ft. We watched this pilot go right under low level power lines in his pursuit of excellence in spraying.

The girls from the local Cessna service centre let us put MR P out of the sun in a huge cold hangar. All was set and we headed down to the local Casino.

It is amazing what facilities there are, and how easy accessible they are to pilot.
People in aviation special, there is still a trust in the community that allows fantastic good will to be given and received.
