Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: smells when flying open cockpitsOn the return trip from Brodhead this year, Ben Taylor and I were flying formation to Antique Airfield, low & slow, and we flew over a bakery that filledthe air with the fresh scent that bakery's are known for. That was the most wonderful smell I've ever whiffed from my open cockpit !!Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: smells when flying open cockpitsSpeaking of smells in the cockpit....I just sent my brother and my pietenpol to Tucson AZ for the winter. There is a low pressure blowing in from the south and since Utah is north of AZ he was going into the teeth of the wind. I watched him take off and climb to 100' or so before he passed me. I raced down the taxiway and realized If I had another mile I could have caught him. His first fuel stop was about 100 miles away. He called about 3 hours later and reported that his highest ground speed was 60 mph, and during climbs he was as low as 35 mph! Winds and turbulence were as forecast. Near the end of the description he asked, have you ever been sick in an airplane? I responded yes, before I really understood the implication. I asked him 'did you get sick?' He said he now has greater appreciation for open cockpit airplanes, but that I have new decoration down the fuselage side and tail... He said the hardest part was choosing - over the left shoulder, or the right? He landed in RIT (Richfield) after 2+ hours with winds gusting to 25kts (down the runway) and didn't have time to clean up before flight service was calling him about his overdue flight plan....I miss the piet already!Steve E
