If you are interested please go to the Maintenance forum, for the text. The photos got put on this location rather than under maintenance, for the time being.

Tuesday AM it was about 65* in Boulder, nice and sunny. By one PM the cold front came through and the temp dropped about 30* in three hours and the wind shifted from the north. It is now Wed AM , 30* with about 2 inches on the ground and snowing steadily. It's pretty, except I've got to drive home today. I don't know if any more ski areas will open yet, but it looks like winter.

Bill,
your Spit ought to be upset with you, keeping it up there in that cold. It is 84 today in Phx, I have been working in the garage with the doors open, it is great here.
Looks like I will have a chance to work on a another ex-Irish Airforce trainer, a SF-260W, new to the states this year.

Is that going to be a local PHX area bird? Any details?

it will be based in Phx, currently at Deervalley. It is still in Irish Airforce markings, and the owner plans on keeping it that way.

She looks just as good unbuttoned as she does all purtied up and flying :heart: What a true work of art! :)
