I saw a Model A school bus being restored yesterday in Amarillo and the enginehad a Miller Hi-speed head on it. I was wondering if anybody tried such a thingon their airplane. I expect it is too much extra weight. the thought of boltingsuch a big hunk of iron on the nose of a plane and it flying still amazesme. as does the thought that mr. Pietenpol did so much with so little. anywayit was an interesting piece of history.also saw a re-built Ford truck with 2 flathead V-8's in it that was specially builtfrom the factory to haul sections of new B-24's to plants around the USfor assembly including to Tulsa to where my Mom was inspecting parts of them.whatamazing things they developed in such a short time.just another small portionof the great effort the country came together for during WW-2.

I served in the Navy back in the 70's. Was an AT (avionics technician) and a flightdeck trouble shooter for a squadron attached to USS Enterprise. When itwas time for me to get out the Captain offered me a tour of duty with the BlueAngels. I declined and went home. I still kick myself in the pants for notaccepting that opportunity. But things went pretty well for as they are andnow I'm building a pietenpol. Life is good.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Happy Veteran's Day
