Richard,

Google located message that sounds like what you are looking for.

It's from March 23, 2003. Interesting thing is that Google only found
the content in a reply, it didn't locate the original message. It
wasn't in RAH either. But it was you, and it sounds like the right
story. Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Matt

P.S. My dad has a '46 Taylorcraft and my uncle had a Chief once.
Sounds like quite a trip.

I was hoping to find the message about the flight down to Florida.

We flew down in a '41 Taylorcraft to bring home a friends brand new '46
Aeronca Chief.
