Hey, there was nothing wrong with it until Tina put her hands on it.
She just made it a little bit better. :-)


Sorry I couldn't be there this year; due to a friend inconvieniently

I hope to meet you at the next one.

It was just an overly complex oil change. She was putting in a
new quick drain.


Morris (temporarily at a loss for a flippant answer)


Okay, I give up. What the heck is Tina *doing* under that plane?

Morris' job? :-)

You were at a loss for words - just trying to help. g

Way cool. I'm going to "borrow" a couple of the shots
for my web site, as soon as I get around to putting it
together. Thanks.

Just remember they're not all John's photos...

She was just showing me how it's done. We had this long conversation
about it and I kept asking what she was torquing about, so she
decided to show me.

As it happens, I was busy safety wiring the oil filter while she was
safety wiring the drain valve. The fact that it took about the same
amount of time to do both says how much more difficult it was to wire
the drain valve.

What is this copyright thing that you speak of?

Seriously, I'll give due credit.

I have pictures that use this thing called film.
Once things develop, I'll add to the collection.

Well, in which case it was at least slightly broken :-)

Don't worry, one year someone roofed a Cardinal on the way up to P'ville
when the engine decided that internal combustion was overrated, and
being a windmill was better.
The first year I visited, someone groundlooped a Stearman. We've seen
brakes fail locked *on* on a twin (only on one side of course, just to
make the landing a little more exciting), window catches failing
resulting in an OAT probe going through the fabric, a Mooney that
ejected a cylinder on the way home (but managed to make a forced landing
at an airport). Good job there's always at least a couple of A&Ps at the
fly-in with the number of broken planes that seem to come and go :-)

Of course, if no one brings a broken plane with them, Highflyer has
plenty in his hangar to go around g

By that definition, all planes are at least slightly broken.
