No, I hear they left the pattern in a hurry.

It was avoiding that damn T Rex who kept running out on the runway every
day that was REALLY a PIA :-)

Just kick in the, ah...tail feathers.

Thank you very much. Believe me, one is enough. :-)

Hey, yeah... happy birthday DH.

Mine was yesterday, does that mean I'm older than you?

On a serious note, that sort of thing can be a handy mnemonic tool. For
example, I found that I could remember my Father's and my Sister's
birthdays
by associating the fact that hers was three days earlier with the
preposterous assertion that she was therefore three days older.

Feel free to laugh all you want. Just remember that GUMP is also
silly--but
it works.

Sounds familiar: Older sister: June 9, my dad, June 12, me June 14.

We were sick of birthday cake after that.

I'm officially an old man today. Still plugging along,
and still learning myself .

Happy B-day, Dudley!

So, just curious -- what qualifications do you possess that makes you
an "official" old man now?

I think the definition is: What don't hurt, don't work.

Thank you very much to both you CJ, and others on these groups who have
taken the time to be a friend.


Now we know the date... what was the year? Is it true there were
pteradactyls in the pattern when you soloed? G



Well, there IS this sort of folk lore story on the net about the time I
attended a Cub Scout meeting as a guest to address the scouts and answer
questions about flying. After my little "speech", one small fellow in the
back raised his hand and when I called on him, he asked me what Wilber and
Orville Wright were REALLY like :-))


Yeah...but what were the Montgolfier brothers like?


Big windbags....both of um'
:-)

Oh - and Happy (belated) Birthday!
Thank you very much.
DH

Happy Birthday from me, too! Next time you are in DAB area, give me a
call. You need a Rocket ride!
Hi Orval;
Thank you. Janet was just here this week. In fact we just put her
on the plane to return to Ormond Beach this morning. We'll
probably not be down this year but thanks much for the invite.
The Rocket sounds like fun. Not sure if Pop Johnson designed the
Culver Cadet, but I flew one years ago and remember his name
being mentioned at the time.

The story is that Pop either worked for Culver or had a dealership and
that he took one apart, measured everything, made some changes and built
the first Swift (the all-wood GC-1).

When he lost control of Swift, he took the GC-1 home and 60 days later
he came out with the Rocket 125, a taildragger with retractable
tailwheel.

He then came out with the Rocket 185, completely redesigned and half
again more horsepower. I think that the Mooney brothers had a hand in
the design, as they did with Pop's later creations.

The Rocket 185 is a great flyer, with nice, fingertip control and decent
performance.

I loved the old airplanes. Even flew a Mooney Mite several times.
Nearly everyone who gets a chance to fly one of these "old
critters" marvels at their performance compared to the more
"modern" spam cans :-)
Anyway, have a great summer down at Spruce Creek.
Dudley Henriques

Thanks. you too!

My dad claims it's the wonderful bowel movements he has every morning. With any
luck, he wakes up first. G

That's another definition: You're staggering around and slobbering all over
yourself...and you haven't had a drop in weeks.
