Got up this morning and decided to take the Stearman up for a little putt around the pastures and groves since it was cool, calm, and clear. Got back and decided to get out an SNJ and do the same. Got back and decided I might as well dig out the Mustang and exercise it too! All in the proper order of course!

Not a bad way to start the day!!

Good thing there wasn't a B-25 and a B-17 handy!

Here's the pics from my passenger!

You know, Glenn, I wasn't sure that I liked you before and now I know for sure I don't. Ha! :lol:

Cool way to start any day! Hope all is well with you and biz is good. Obviously, life is treating you respectfully.

Hope to cross paths soon. Thunder or Oshkosh on your radar screen this year?

Later, my friend! 8)

Hey Glenn,

Looks like you had fun day! I have a question though... What's the address for your hangar, and what is the combination for the padlock on your hangar door?

Jealously grinning,

David

Jeff said he's been trying to get a hold of you for some 51 tidbits before before he starts the annual of 119H.
He's got it pretty rough over in these parts. I've watched him fly the Bird BK, Stearman & T-6 the same day.
I love that Bird! Something about cruiing down the Sandy river on a summers evening with that ol Kinner
banging away and doing all of 60 mph maybe 8)

Talked to him about a week ago and emailed him a little info.

Hopefully he got it!

Thanks Jack

yes glenn i got the info and have made a checklist to start that fits 119H. I have you on speed dial so you can expect a call when i have a question as i get started...

flew the champ this weekend, then got in the bird, then that wasn't enough so went out anf flew a friends stearman over to Aurora to see the Collins folks.. (offered my 25 type rating to them, we'll see if they are interested) then went back to lenhardts and flew a new (to the area) BT13.. oh well by the time i got home it was to late to push the SNJ out so i guess i'll do that this week sometime..

after the annual on jim's mustang is done next weekend i'll see if he'll let me excersise it

now i will have to get jack to show me how to post picks as i can't let glenn know he has figured out someting on the computer that i haven't..

glenn you would love the bird.. it is a real hoot.. it's what i learned to fly in when i was 13 and we still have it.. next out of the shop will be the Eaglerock..

Hello Scott,

Thunder is a definite maybe!

I plan on it every year and never seem to make it as I always get tied up here fixing something.

Hope all is well with you.

Glenn
