Hello, low 'n' slow fliers;I had thought that I'd leave this announcement to Corky and maybe I should have, but I just have to tell somebody and it might as well be all y'all.I'm soon to be -Lord willing- the new owner of NX41CC, the Pietenpol that Corky Corbett recently completed and test flew. Money is changing hands, I have a hangar arranged for here just outside San Antonio, a ferry flight is being arranged, insurance, a fresh biennial and Airman 3rd Class Medical for me, etc. etc.I put up some pictures on a webpage, at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/CorkyPiet.html if any of you haven't seen pictures of this beautiful, classic example of our beloved little airplane.More details to follow, as well as a report on my flight checkout and "first solo", but not for a while. I'll be leaving the country for the first week of July for a 35th anniversary celebration with my wife, then once I get back I'll be getting serious about a self-imposed minimum 10 hrs. dual time with my instructor Charlie Avaritt in Four-One-Charlie-Charlie.My sincere thanks to Corky for giving me first crack at this airplane and for being so gracious in all his dealings with me. What a fine gentleman. Hope to fly out to Brodhead, but not this year!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Jim asks->Oscar, What airport are you going to be at? I usually have an overnight >in San>Antonio at least once a month.Once I get it back up here from Zapata (probably late July), it will be based at San Geronimo Airpark, 8T8 on the airport locator. It's out west of San Antonio proper, just a little ways outside Loop 1604 off of Hwy. 90. It's the home of EAA Chapter 35 and where the clubhouse is. I'll be sharing a hangar with a Zenair 601 (Corvair power!).There is no lodging near the field and it's a good ways from San Antonio Int'l., but with proper notice, arrangements can be made to meet someone coming in from out of town.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Oscar,Do you have the plane in Zapata? I might be going to CorpusChristi in the next few weeks and will try have my brother fly mein his Taylorcraft or Forney Aerocoupe up your way.I used to live in Laredo and visited the Zapata Masonic Lodgeon many occasions. We used to explore a nearby underwatertown when the lake/river would drop.Mike KingGN-177MKDallas-----Original Message-----
