Re: 140 River Run

Good to see you're getting some flying in.
I've been over to KAWO for lunch a couple times recently and didn't see your airplane out on the ramp.
I'm assuming that you found yourself a hangar there?

It's all the same river Dog Leg is on. Just a few miles east. The first one is fun because you depart under that overhanging tree.

Naa, just moved it to the west ramp while they were restriping the east ramp. Haven't gotten around to moving it back yet. But I may keep it on the west side. It means I'm only 5 minutes from my plane instead of 8 :D

And tin cans sound like they are coming apart. Land as slow as practicable.
