We had a great time and went flying for a bit. Norm took the pic below of Phil Comingore's granddaughter, Emily, as we formed up on Phil's Cub.
In the "good news" department, the popular CD, "Nuts from a Blind Squirrel" is about to be mass produced. I'll put the word out so that newsletter recipients will have first shot at it.

The "Blind Squirrel" is a CD that has 15 stories painstakingly produced with music and sound effects and read by yours truly. One of my pals listened to it while driving and pulled over on the highway and called me to tell me how much he loved it! It's been unavailable for a while but it's coming back. I'll put a big announcement out when I have them in hand.
I've had a good time ending the week with several flights with Andreas Ritter in his nice Cessna 140.

I have to say that it's nice to get back into a 140, which I consider to be one of the very best tailwheel trainers out there. Andreas, as an Airbus Captain for a European Airline is really quick to learn, and his experience shows as we get him ready to take his Cessna 140 back to Germany.

Mentor David Prince (L) with Gayle Crowder and the Aircoupe she owns with Oregon Aero CEO Mike Dennis.
great writing style. The comments are great as well and include some from the Late Dave DeBerry, who was a friend and mentor to Gayle. Gayle answers several questions in this classic article. I enjoyed reading it again. I think you will, as well. Plus, it features some great illustrative photos by The Tailwheeler's Journal's very talented Director of Videography, Bert Garrison.
