Pietenpol-List: two firsts today,,,"visiting" and rain

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: tim moody
With spring comming late and the wind we've been having, knew I had to do drasticmeasures. Today started with a breeze and overcast skies. Plenty of ceilingbut threat of rain.got into my snowmobile suit, and away I went. after a few trips around the valley,broke out and headed up to Sussex Airport. This is allowed by my DAR causewe don't have fuel at my home base.A big whopping 15 miles or so. Trip went great.Nice to taxi on a tarmac that the Pietenpol hasn't been on before.It was great to pull up , with no one outside, and as soon as I climbed out, peoplecame out of the woodwork. Couple of guys I knew, and a couple that I didn't.All amazed at the Pietenpol look and story. One of the guys was Paul Styger who owns Sussex Airport, and puts on the famous Sussex Airshow. Askedme if I would be in the show, cause they are having an antique fly-by forthe 100th aniversary of flight. Anyone else within flying distance of here maykeep this in mind to participate.On the way back I detoured a little to fly over my Mentors house.Then as I headed for home, looked and the windshields were cloudy. Realized itwas rain. So all the way back flew in a light rain with the top of my head gettingwet.An exciting day. Now the fun is starting that I dreamed about since the firstday I started laying out longerons,,,The adventures of "visiting"To all of you who are building,,,keep plugging. It's gets better that you canever imagine.waltNX140DLI'm still smiling8 hours down, and 17 to go.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2003 11:46:18 -0700 (PDT)
