All,It's too soon to try to put into words what I saw and learned in the last 3days! For those who could not make it, my deepest sympathies and my sincerewishes that you get to go sometime in the future.Here are just a few of the many, many images I took: (1) Greg Cardinal was most gracious in "asking" me if I wanted a rideThursday evening. Who would not want to be the pilot behind those goggles!!!"Thanks Greg!!!" If some of you have not been in an open cockpit (andespecially a Piet), it was everything I dreamed it would be.(2) My camera is cheap and without a decent operator, but if you are verycareful, you may count about 16 or 17 Piets in image #2.(3) Actually, I am quite surprised by "Brodhead 099." It just goes to theold saying about the blind squirrel finding a nut once in awhile.Beyond the really cool airplanes, the people are The Best. "THANK YOU," toall of you builder/owner/pilots who took time to fly there (sometimes aquite considerable amount of time), and for your patient replies to theincredible amount of questions that you got bombarded with.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down.)________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 00:27:01 -0400
