Well...if he did.... who stole the lower wing?

Tell Richard and Ina that we hope we'll seem them both in TEXAS soon!

Thanks. Russ did the labels. I am pretty sure he used a Brother label maker. He will chime in, to verify, when he sees this.

Forrest

Yes, I used a Brothers P-touch. Got it at Office Depot for around 30-35 bucks. Sure beats those old ugly Dynomaker strip plastic labels from the '60s!

Super nice looking airplane. Looks like a lot of work went into it. Nice looking square tail too Are there some photos of the instrument panel with those labels that are mentioned? How do I view them? I need to make some new ones for my square tail also and want to see what you guys did.

If you click on the flickr link it will take you too the pictures on my flickr account.

I just-noticed...that yellow 195's lower cowl has been re-painted?

Nope....it's was cold here so we put the engine blanket on......matches the plane colours.

It's nice today however, it's up to 50F

It was -34F at the cabin yesterday morning as I was getting the place dug-out, after 7 weeks of neglect (due to a hobbled leg). Today, it's -15F here in Chugiak, which means it's even colder than -34 at the cabin...which means I'm NOT going out. Made me long for summer flying with my A+P:
Went up to Iron Creek for a sandwich;
and then out to Beluga for a friends bachelor party, bear hunt, and frisbee session:

Looks like you had a good co-pilot on board. That makes it all worthwhile. It's mid 60's here just outside the Fort Worth, TX area and supposed to be 70 tomorrow

Been an easy winter here in Minnesnowta!

Where was that, Kyle?

White Bear Lake - Benson's. Saturday the 28th. Chili feed...... Nice turn out. Only had 1 a/c on skiis.

Dang! I was at Lake Elmo that day, and thought about flying up there. Sorry I missed you! Was the chili any good?

I flew a little bit that day. The taxiways at 21D were all iced up, the wind was gusting, and it was a bear to keep the airplane on the pavement while taxiing. Not a great flying day!

how could you call her sunshine? the obvious name is "peaches and cream" that is a beautiful airplane, and a few years ago, if you bought that from john, i was the guy who drug his feet a little too long in front of you. you did well.

This is Seth, my mechanic. He is also good at collecting dirt off the hanger floor after an ice cream cone on a hot summer day.
