Pietenpol-List: FLIGHT!!

The CVG wx today was finally good enough to go Pieting, so I committed aviation!! The mighty Ford roared to life and angels sang as we rose into the crisp bluesky. I had forgotten just how magic and wonderful it is to levitate at 45kias in the Piet. Beats the heck out of my day job where things are just startingto come alive at 45 kts.After a careful post flight, all I could find, aside from the oily streaks, wasthat one bungee (on the side that got wounded in the hay field last summer) wasweak. Probably a good thing to change those out each year, anyhow. Other thanthat, it was simply superb! The winter sleep didn't seem to have made any differenceto my noble sky-steed.Jeez, enough flowery prose. That's not my normal mode but that's what flying myPietenpol does to me. Happens every time as those who tried to talk to me atBrodhead last year know. I doubt if I was coherent for two days after that muchconcentrated Piet flying. Boy, do I love it!!Now, let's hear from all you other snowbound and frustrated flyers..............Larry________________________________________________________________________________
