Too bad. You missed a great fly-in. I'm the flower bombing champ and a
Maule lost control on landing and will havfe to be trucked out. We
didn't start any forest fires though.

By the way, flyin today at the Redman ranch which is at the BIL 225/19
give or take a mile or so. Fly that Hawk down there and bring a side
dish and something to drink. Burgers, brats and chicken breast coming
off the grill about 6 pm.


I'd love to, and would if I could!!! It is just too nice a day. I
taxied my plane into the damn "EXXON EDWARDS" sign at Edwards One while
trying to squeeze into a close place and crumpled my left wing about a
foot in from the end. Had to have the wings removed and the whole
thing trucked to Greeley CO for a major fix. SH-T !!! The insurance
guy asked me if I'd figured out a way to blame it on my wife. Had to
laugh at that one. Actually, I had thought about a way.

Figured I'd try to make a little lemonade out of this, so I'm having
long range tanks installed as long as the wings are off, and saved
about $3000 on that since alot of the labor for that is already covered
by the work needed to repair the wings, anyway.
