| Joe, that looks real nice! Brought back some memories too; I managed to get a couple or three hours on an ex-USAAF Cub a few years back. It was a lovely little bus to fly, even though the cars below were travelling faster! looking forward to your first-flight report! Terry. |

| FIRST FLIGHT TODAY!!!!! After several weeks of running her down the runway and lifting the tail and even getting her a few feet off the ground, today was the day. Completed a long pattern, got 1000' AGL and everything worked except my CHT gage! My landing sucked, ran off the runway but got corrected and no damage to the airplane or pilot!  The owner was in tears (maybe because of my landing ) This has been a 6 year ordeal for her and now I think she has closure as this was project started when her husband was alive.I'll put about 10 more hours on it until it sells. I hope to have pictures later this week - she took them all because I was "a little busy."

| Awesome news, Joe. I knew if anyone could get her back in the air, you would be the guy. I'd love to get up and fly with you again, Joe. That last flight was way too short. Damn marine layer...
