Subject: Pietenpol-List: flying low over farm fieldsGreat fun that is Shad. I learned my lesson though to scope out for wires, but good, about 10 years ago when I came around a stand of trees over flat farmland and came upon high tension wires-fortunately the wires were about 2,000 feet ahead of me so I had plenty of time to divert. I was down low chasing a friend in his Cub ala the Kessler/Pepper scenes in The Great Waldo Pepper. (but not with near the theatrics or engine noises) Great fun but you really have to know the field (s) well.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: flying low over farm fieldsYes...I'm the third greatest pilot in the world behind Kessler and Waldo Pepper:) Yeah, right !!!I actually lost a good dogfight to a 73 year old guy by the name of Bob White flying his Cub on mytail. I seriously could not shake Bob so I smoked him-and looked back, he's weaving and goingall over the place because he couldn't see squat in the smoke-he was that close to me. Great funbut I was humbled-he was a good stick !Tell us how you fought the black and yellow German...... Ernst Kessler....... you fought Ernst Kessler?________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 11:38:00 -0700 (PDT)
