I have 600x6 all the way arround. Will be putting 700's on the mains for next summer flying. Will be at Spanish Fork this weekend.

I forgot to mention that at a stait tail convention, Round tail Cessnas would be our honored guests

Do not tell Zane but I think the 170 is the best looknig Cessna made.

Plan it now. Strait tail fly in the last weekend of August, 09. at Smiley Creek. I think that is the weekend of Salmon festival in Stanley.

Camp at Smiley Creek then fly to Stanley for snacks.

Tim & Flight:
How about a spring time event say- central Utah . The Hutchinson event
might be a good location. I was all set up to go until snow season showed up. We've talked in the past about a straight tail gathering.
I'll be there with my 56 182 . Love that old airplane.

My favorite plane has now become the strait-tail on fatties, now represent!

Tim, If you could give Gail S. Halvorson a call while you are in Spanish fork, and just tell him that Bob Bement wanted to say hello. Gail was the Berlin Candy Bomber in the Berlin Airlift. He lives in Spanish Fork. I had the honor of flying he and his wife to Sulphur Creek and Chamberlain Basin in 1999. He is a true gentleman. Bob
