Subject: Pietenpol-List: Chuck Gantzer UpdatePieters,Received a cell phone call from Chuck airborne somewhere between Farmington, Mo and only God knows where as it was totally ununderstandable. I did get the last ," I'll call you at my destination" He is dodging bumpers all over that area plus heavy haze.Operations Office for America's Tour________________________________________________________________________________

Corky,What would be good, IF SOMEONE HAS THE TIME, is to prepare a websitededicated to Chuck's America Air Tour. This site would be apicture of the U.S.with ICONS of the cities he has stopped, complete with picturesand any narrativesfor each location.This way we can keep a visual track of our barnstormer andaccounts of his adventure.But this will take someone with time on their hands and aknowledge of putting text and pictures together on a web site.Maybe someone will take this project and run with it. I knowChuck would enjoy reliving his trip after he gets back.Just an idea from someone who flies a GN-1.Mike KingGN-177MKDallas Grande Chalupa(proud member of HOT TACO)-----Original Message-----

DJ,I can send you pictures I took Sunday while at Tick Hill and Iknow Terry has bunch of ground and air-to-air shots. I believe Corky has somegreat picturesto add to this project. Chuck might be able to download somepictures from his digital camera on someone's computer. Many have alreadysupplied narratives. I know with your creative talent, the site would be the perfectplace to keep tabsof Chuck and his plane.Just let us know where you want the pictures sent.Thanks DJ.Mike-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Chuck Gantzer UpdateDJ'To the best of my memorySat July 17 Left Wishita, Kansas and overnited at Cushing, Ok. Met up with some jumpers at the airport and spent hours consuming pizza and beer.Sun July 18 From Cushing to near Dallas for fuel and to Tick Hill near Temple, Tx.more beer and barbecue. Mon July 19 Left Tick Hill around 1500 bound for Bluebird Hill in Keithville (Shreveport)La More beer and plenty of shrimp with Corky and Isabelle and Edwin JohnsonTues July 20 Departed Bluebird Hill at 1400 bound for Arkansas and parts nawth. Fueled at Arkadelphia, Ark and stretched until dark landing at Mountain,View, ArkWed.July 21 From Mountain View he made Farmington, Mo where he was met and hosted by Jon Jones.Thurs July 22 Jon pulled him out early as he had to go to work. Chuck took off on a nawtherly headed. Called Corky in the afternoon while flying using hisnew cell phone. Corky couldn't understand any of the noisy transmission partlybecause iof the wind and the fact that he is near stone deaf.That's as up to date as I can give you. I am expecting a call from him tonight and as soon as I get the information I will put it on the Piet listHope this is what you wantedCorky________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 20:41:51 -0500
