How high are those hills?Those hills are mighty high, but no step for a stepper. I've already been accorded an invitation by Gary Gower and his avia-locos down South and have already discussed the possibility with my instructor Charlie since he has lots of hours flying down there. It's a real possibility for me and 41CC, and I have put it on my own list of 'to do' flights for sometime in the future. I speak Spanish (born and raised on the border), have never been thrown in jail in Mexico nor been arrested there despite having earned the right to have been, enjoy the food and customs, am very comfortable down south, and think it would be lots of fun.PS to "El Taco Loco", Sterling Brooks: they don't drink Corona Light in Mexico. They think it's sissy stuff for yankee gringos, so don't expect to find much of it down there except right on the border where the tourists go.PS to Corky: we're working on magneto issues with 41CC but hope to get it flying this weekend. What's great is that even on the ground and non-flyable with the mags pulled off, the airplane continues to draw attention. One old boy sat in the cockpit and reminisced about old times and you could see the dreams in his eyes. The Piet is sort of magical that way, I guess.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
