Don, I think your memory is in about the same shape as that bird....

I am getting a little forgetful............

If legos count,I get to include the step dad's planes since they are in the family and I have flown them. Besides Hi Country needs to show this first one to GW's previous owner.

This is our supercub after rebuild. We bolted wings on sunday and 31 inch bushwheels today. It has 180hp cc engine, extended wings and ailerons, droop ailerons and hope to fly soon. Has been almost 3 year rebuild.

Looks good Phil, who's the handsome guy in the green jacket?

Tim

Great thread with some great photos...

Sorry, the magic is gone from my picture posting skill.

I think 0GW would be right at home as it was on Wayne's farm..grain bins on the farm and all.

Now, guess which one of the airplanes in this pic is mine



The 1968 Cherokee 180 (N6354J), of course!

The 1940-something B-17 is the Liberty Belle, a restored/flying Flying Fortress that winters at my home field of Double Eagle II (KAEG). Note the P-51 taxiing in the right background. What you can't see in this pic is the flight of US Army Blackhawks parked on the ramp behind the Liberty Belle. The guy in fatigues shooting a pic of the P-51 is one of the Blackhawk air crew. The Army and ANG send their chopper crews to KAEG to practice dusty landings and takeoffs, just prior to deployment to Iraq.

I don't have any backcountry photos of 54J just yet ... I'm a newbie at backcountry flying, and just joined a startup backcountry pilots group, a subset of the New Mexico Pilots Association. Hope to have plenty of backcountry shots to share in the coming months.

Here's our old 140 we sold last year:




Here's the "new" plane - 1952 170b

As of this morning, my new baby. 1961 172B. Just finished getting some dual time with an instructor to be safe. We loaded 140lbs of sand in the rear seats and 70lbs of sand in the baggage compartment to simulate carrying a passenger & gear. It handles a bit differently.

I haven't been anywhere very interesting to get a pic to compete with some of these, but here's one of me with the Cherokee.

OK, thanks for fixing it.

worked for me....u typed it wrong

Looks like finger trouble, thanks.

Remember you can edit your posts if you screw up the code the first time. Just click the little pencil icon in the upper right of the post area. I fixed your original post Alan. Nice looking Cherokee.

I've had my corbon cub about 6 months now looking forward to some summer flying.
