Early morning hotel-to-airport by Bob Fry
A friend and I are planning on flying our Ercoupes from California to Oshkosh. First long trip for both of us.

Flooded airport in Oregon by Bob Fry
The local (Sacramento, CA) tv news just showed a short video of a very flooded airport in Oregon with a couple of dozen GA planes flooded about 3 feet and probably ruined. Didn't say where though, does anybody know? -- Men who believe absurdities will commit atrocities. ~ Voltaire
