Subject: Pietenpol-List: Steve Ruse from Oklahoma & hand propping Some of you Great Waldo Pepper movie fans will like this. I was fortunate to be able to meet Steve Ruselast Friday morning at Oshkosh and see his well-traveled airplane. Sure is nice to see some younger bloodgetting into Pietenpols---not that there is anything wrong with the veterans-they sure know a bunch.After I got my departure briefing from the guys in the shack by the brown arch I pushed the airplane tothe flight line and was looking for a qualified person to prop me and saw Steve again. I didn't even haveto think about how to ask him, the words just came out of my mouth. "I'd be obliged if you'd prop me Steve"(substituting Steve for son). Thanks Steve !Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:33:17 -0400
