I was ferrying a new Cobra from H-3 North.....feet wet up the coast enjoying the scenery when the MC Panel lit up.....Engine Chip light......Blue Star said come on down.....was a real neat place.....great food.....They hadn't seen a Cobra up close....had a CE with me, he pulled the plug, wiped all the crap off, the unit TI came out, said there was no way we were leaving, signed off that is, until he went on a test flight with me.....we did....I got the bird signed off....and got back that night.....we made that our re-fuel point for about 6 months....ate good, but we always gave a ride or two.... Their ramp was full of ancient B Model Guns....D model slicks (I swear) and they spent a lot of time supporting the ROK's. Great people....
