Default Short cuts

Yep, heard the same. IIRC it was in Texas, 1-26 (green pickle?), had to release now and then due to wires across the road.....right on up there with the "Fonz" doing a ground loop over a field of 2' stumps to land on a road next to the stump field and next to tall trees......when asked how he got there, he just smiled....typical of the Fonz if you knew him. I miss the Fonz.

The making of MAJOR war stories......sorta glad some of mine are no where near as exciting, other than Mom ripping the exhaust off a company car going into the BOTTOM of a gravel pit to help retrieve a 1-26 I had landed there.......sigh.....
