I don'trecall the guys name, but he flys it regularly, and if you stop in the FBO,=20theywill let you know. If it is a calm evening, he will likely be at the hanger, orflying. I stopped there on my way back through, in '04. It's a really greatairport, with lots of projects, antique planes, long hard surface runway, anda very nice grass runway, and 3 hanger museum. Creve Couer is a MUST SEEairport stop. Dennis E. and his lovely wife invited me to stay with them for the night,and after supper, we spent hours, going over Dennis's Pietenpol project inhis basement. His son took me back to Creve Coure the next morning, and when Iwas preparing for departure, there was a Full Scale P51 Mustang in thepattern, doing take offs, and landings. I watched him do 4 or 5 before I taxiedinto position, and announced "Experimental Pietenpol 770 Charlie Gulf, departingrunway 36 with a Smoking Take Off". The guy in the Mustang replied "P51Mustang, holding short...I wanna watch this !!"Chuck G.NX770CGSmoke 'em if ya got 'em !!________________________________________________________________________________
