that one sneek up on you ? who would guess ?

When you can't open the dood, as there is ice against it,
and your 50 miles from a road.

The natives come running from the trees and just stare at the plane with jaws dropped.

You can't even hear dualing banjos.

You had to hike 50 miles and swim 2 rivers with and axe and a shovel to build it.

When you land on a glare-ice lake in a 206 kill the motor and begin picking up speed...As I look to my father (the pilot) and ask when he plans on stopping the plane...He answers as soon as we hit the far bank.

When you land and shut down the nearest dirt road is 50 miles away and your needing gas.

When you land and shut down the nearest dirt road is 50 miles away and your needing gas.Your Cell phone doesn't work and your out of Starbucks coffee and wi-fi range, Only neighbors are crawling or looking at you like Lunch . You reload your gun and find missing parts > the copy of Survivor-man is missing from your MP4 player and you need to know if that bush can be eaten. In the distance you hear the Dueling Ban-gos from Deliverance. There's a jimmy carter /acorn welcome sign at the bush where you take a crapp .

When a fellow in a canoe stops on the river bank because you are the first person he has seen in 4 days. He sees my uncle Walter's plane sticking out from behind the ramshackle barn,and says, "When did that crash here?" My father told him, "That plane crashes here about 4 times a day".

Somewhere in Southern Arizona last weekend.
"Hey buddy, wanna try a fun new spot? Smooth dirt to land on and some great hiking there."
"Sure!"
(Sherrif) " Border Patrol spotted the plane and sent us to investigate"
Sad reality of life near the border, if you are in an airplane nobodys first thought is 'Hey I bet those guys are
having a great day enjoying the desert"
It all ended well, just another sign of the times.
