Subject: Pietenpol-List: Big AdventureAfter a fly-by and a YEEE HAAWWW (to an audience of 5), I landed at Benton at 5:30pm, last Sunday evening, to bring the biggest adventure of my life to asafe end...till the next one. Had a great time, grueling at times, a couple of thwarted disasters, but I'm already looking forward to next year. The highlight of the trip was Brodhead...the people and the Pietenpols. Saturday evening at Brodhead was the best !! After a two porkchop dinner, everybody launched to the sky !! Best white knuckles flying I've ever done !! What a hoot!! It seemed like there were airplanes all over the sky. Mike C. kept puffing smoke, and there were formations comming together in several places, then theywould break up, and others would form up. Planes landing and taking off, fly-bys, people going up for the first time in a Pietenpol. A big Congratulations to Larry Williams...well deserved credit for such fine workmanship.
