Since the list is a little slow I thought I would let you all know about my recentvisit to the Frazier Lake Airport for a personal tour of Charlie Millers'(the Pietenpol Ambassador of Morgan Hill CA) fabulous Pietenpol.Frazier Lake Airport has been the host to the West Coast Piet gathering, and nowI know why - its a wonderfull place. I have seen many beautiful Piets equal in craftsmanship but none better than Charles'- It's outstanding in workmanship and detail. Some photos are availableon the west coast site here.http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Cha ... s.htmCheck out the web site for Frazier lake airport (or is is a living museum of classicaircraft?). There a a lot of classic airplanes including one in Charleshanger next to his Piet - Beautiful! The first Saturday of each month is an"antique aircraft display day" - If you are ever in the area of San Jose / MorganHill CA pick a first Saturday to visit the airport and bring a camera.http://frazierlake.com/The Piet gathering must be excellent event also. I just need to find an excuseto be in SanJose or Morgan Hill for the next one!--------Bob 'Early Builder' DewenterDayton OHRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
