Many thanks to Walt Lasecki of Outlaw Aviation for letting me use his nice Cessna 140 while mine is undergoing re-build.  And to Elana Gordon, who, after a long period of not flying, has decided to get current. Wow, what a talent she is!  I'm delighted to have someone who is so good to really concentrate on.

A visit from J.R.  Luper has been a lot of fun and we've been putting up with the construction at the Madras Airport to get J.R. his tailwheel endorsement. He's a high time professional pilot and flight instructor and we've been having a great time.

One of those maneuvers:  The landing in a turn at Sisters.

#71, The Briar Patch and the Comfort Zone" is a pretty good accompaniment to the "Tailwheel Town Landing".  There's only one way to find out. And that's to read it!
