This was a great flying day. The winds didn't start till 10:00. Was as smoothas glass for enough time for me to visit 3 airports and bullcrap. My final destination was Andover Aeroflex in northern NJ. Wanted to show my planeto a fellow who is 80ish, who flys the fire fighter planes in the spring,and always had time to talk about the old times. Guess he started in WWll. Loveto watch him handle that "crop duster" with the 650HP radial, taking off withfull water, going to get a brush fire.He said he liked my plane, and even gave me some pointers. I love to hear pointersfrom the pros.Ain't life grand!!walt evansNX140DL________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: what a great day of flying in the north eastWalt,I had a great flying evening, in Kansas. I, too, have been getting some cross country pointers from the ol' experts, at Benton. We had a high overcast,and in the high 90's, but light winds. Flew formation with Doug and his T-craft. Determined that my ASI is reading too low. Logged 1.3 hours. Earlierin the day, I got my brakes opporational, and they work well. Also mounted a bracket for the handheld Com, and an antenna for the GPS. Drained the oil, whenI got back. Everything works, no squawks !! I'm ready for the 'Big Adventure'!! I plan to Airport Hop, all the way. The longer it takes, the better.Yes, Life is Grand !!! See y'all at Brodhead !!Chuck GantzerWichita KSNX770CG________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 08:28:33 -0400
