I'm 70 miles south, didn't get anything from Katrina, got some wind and rain from Rita, not as many tornados as Lili of years past, higher sustained duration winds though. I lost fence and roof to Lili, lost only trees to Rita. Leaving next week to survey the damage recovery from Wilma in Cozumel... You didn't say how far south originally! My brother is further south yet. He lost everything, house and mobile home both, he lived on the coastal road at the 8 mile mark from Texas, Johnson Bayou. Glad to hear you did ok! John |

Glad to hear you did ok! Sorry to read that, thats west of us by 70 miles and ground zero for where Rita came ashore. I fly due north (if Fort Polk approach lets me) on trips to Pineville/Alexandria from 4R7... What Emily left of the south coast road on Cozumel was finished off by Wilma... Around 15km worth... There was substantial damage not far from us (like trees through the middle of the house) but our neighborhood faired pretty well, several have new roofs, some are still waiting... |

Dean Wilson designed and built a twin engine amphib for two French explorers. It used two Lycoming engines, and I think the tail end swung open for loading. It was called the Explorer. It could hold an Avid Flyer with the wings folded. He built a single engine version that had room for a king size bed, I believe. Look for an article in Sport Aviation. It was built with tubing and fabric covered. All Thumbs |

That's what I was about to say. Even the pocketrockets are trying to
stay close to lower 400# or higher 300#. |
