Looking for a thread...

One of our volunteers saw a thread that featured photos of our mechanics working on our 25. I've searched the board pretty thoroughly but no luck...any help would be much appreciated.

Hey Jim,

I found the thread. It was on another board not WIX. Sorry about that.

Here it is:

Whoa! That's Wayne's commitment! Dang!

Hey Neon, I saw some pics in your Webshots of Waynes checkride... did he pass? I also saw the gloomy-a$$ weather you guys got for a while... double dang.

Yeah...Wayne is a heck of a mechanic. He just finished a cylinder change when those photos were taken. We ran the engine and heard what sounded like a valve ticking. He crawled on top of the scoop and I lit it off...we got up to 1500rpm...dedication.

Yes, not long after these photos were taken Wayne successfully took his checkride. He's been flying the airplane quite a bit this year and it was time.

The weather has been a bit dodgy lately, been IFR more than VFR it seems. We are down to our last week though, then the silver tube back home for a couple months!!

Jim, with your tour season coming to an end, can we look forward to some more epic features on You Tube again this winter ?
