HEY, polishing my turbo is my business....and, yes,
it is quit clean as I have even had some assistance
from lady friends who were visiting my hangar help , uh,
polish it.
Actually, getting to my hangar is quite easy. The
main FBO is Southwest Services (SWS) on the south side
of the field. All the airport stuff (ie tower etc) is
located on the west side of the airport.
Just head to the larger shared hangars to the south
and you will see the Welcome to Houston banner on SWS.
The only taxi way to the city hangars is just to the
south/left of SWS. Taxi past SWS via the taxi way to
the south, between SWS and the large white and blue
hangar where Chevron keeps their corporate jets (Juliet,
I think), to the city hangars, and my hangar, Alpha
Papa is in the first row of hangars you come to, second
hangar on the left. I promise you, it will become very
obvious.
If you taxi too far to the south, nice men and women
in bright yellow shirts and guns representing NASA will
be happy to great you. If you taxi too far north, nice
men and women in green or blue outfits with guns
representing the National Guard and the Coast Guard will
be happy to greet you. Come let me greet you....I too
have a gun, but I may be a much nicer host in my
reception. Don't I make the experience seem
welcoming??????
I am likely making it harder than it really
is....just taxi to the rows of hangars. These are the
City Hangars. I am the second hangar on your left. I
will likely be out waiting for ya, and depending on
weather, have my Velo out as a land mark.
Or, just ask for a progressive to the "City Hangars'
I should be at the hangar this weekend when I get off
on Saturday by about 3:30, and most all of my day off on
Sunday.
OH my, I must clean the hangar for company......maybe
I can call upon some of the above referenced lady
friends for help....uh, perhaps only one at a time.....I
don't live THAT dangerously....hmmmmmmmm?
I really hope you can make it.

Chris,
Well, you can always go out to the airport and
polish your turbo while you wait for your EC-2 to
arrive. ;-)
If weather permits (and I get caught up on the
"honey-do's") I may venture down your way this
weekend. But before I fly again, I've got to get
the EGT's hooked up after changing exhaust system.
No need for me to call, you'll be able to hear
me doing my runup at 50R. That will give you about
a 45 minute warning. Are you planning to be at the
airport Saturday or Sunday?
Seriously, I'll call you in advance. How do I
find your hangar once on the ground? From the
YouTube videos, it appears that you've got more
hangers at Ellington than Col. Sanders has chicken
coops. I'll need a road map to find your hangar.

FINE, I guess it is obvious that a
holiday that focuses on friends and family
is more important than tending to your
aviation project and posting your progress,
discoveries and insight here. NO PROBLEM.
We see where your loyalties lie and it is
certainly NOT helping satisfy my 'fix" of
rotary knowledge, otherwise the silence
would not be as deafening as an un-muffled 20b
at full song.
Go ahead, eat your turkey, watch the
Cowboys get beat, fall asleep with that
evening cocktail dangling from your hand. I
can wait....... I will be thinking of you
all as I "serve and protect" while other
officers, as well as all of you, enjoy the
day with their families. I will be checking
the list with disappointment as no new
emails get posted. Heavy sigh.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving. ;-)
