I cannot imagine how much it must fuel cost to do something that much fun

Oh my goodness!!

Thanks for posting, Jim. Oh lordy... What I wouldn't give to be able to attend one of those functions. Maybe, just maybe, get a few minutes in the 'hind seat'...

Best regards, and God bless and keep you all safe.

Pete Would love to have you or any of my Ruger Family show up for a ride in anything we have. And that is no yugo story.

Jimbo, Just where do you think I have to ride

Well you just have to get your priorities right for what you want to spend your $$$$$$$$ on. It really isn't as bad as you think.. Besides we like making $$$$$$$$$$$$/gasoline into noise

Thanks WJ. Always good to see your pictures of family and flying machines. That is definitely a bonding activity.

Man, those pictures make me so envious. One of the worst part of getting old is not flying any more. Can't afford it these days and doubt I could get a medical now. At least I still have the memories. Keep 'em flying! Especially rag wings tail draggers, there's fewer of them every year.

I just realized how much of a throw back I am. I just love wooden boats with sails and airplanes with fabric cover and little wheels on the rear end. The greatest scent in the world is 80/87 and hot oil.

I think that is about as good as it gets. Unless it's a P51 or a P38 Lightning. What an expierence.
