Even then, you best have it insured if it's worth anything.

Know you were at Jay's. Didn't you go on to Osh with crowd this year?

I never have gone to OSH.
You know how I hate people, in general. Well....
crowds have waaay too many people in them to suit me.

FWIW.... I have been seen at lil ol Sun n Fun.

On the Express crash. Do you remember 5-10 years ago one of the new
'plastic' birds crashed on way to Osh. Investigation showed that pilot
(a key man and salesman for company) had loaded the bird down with
brochures and other paper items and bird was way over max gross. He
took off from a field with a pretty high density altitude and crashed
either from overload or bad CG. Wonder if something similar happened
to the Express?

Nope.
My Alzheimer's has flared up again.

All I keep thinking is.....
Turbine homebuilts are not doing well, lately.

Wx forecast not good up in your part of county. Potato couch WX I
guess G

Yeah, we are having our share of stink-o Wx.
Wanna bet it ends the same day as OSH?
