Aeronca C3 Bathtub
Here is the future of Aviation as it should be. This young student pilot (15 years old if I remember right ) brought this C3 up from Louisiana on a trailer (a little help from Dad) put the wings on at Ottumwa IA. And pleased the crowd a number of times with some flybys . No loops and rolls this time.

Out of harms way
Sunday , after a delay to let the grass strip recover from torrential down pours the night before we departed Blakesburg around 4:15pm with Mat and Mike in their award winning Cadets. A couple of hours latter we flew up against a wall thunder storms the likes of witch this Pacific flyer has never seen!!! Once again a kind owner of this maintenance shop came from home and opened his hangar for the 3 wayward Cadets. Never have I been so grateful! Tornado watch too! Hurry so I can get to the hotel room to change my underwear !! Thank you Shenandoah Municipal airport !!

Interstates at Shenandoah
See the police car in the the left middle of the picture? Well it's retired , and is now the airport curtesy car. It was a lot of fun driving thru Shenandoah and watching traffic react to our own personal police unit!
