    Thanks, I'm just about to pull it apart for some work. Work needs to be accomplished. I need to find a place to paint some parts and time to put on the Sutton Exhaust I bought last month.

    My wife still thinks that the fact I want to go flying on my days off is weird but she is slowly warming to it.

    Not many of them get it. I met a guy that quit flying because his wife was adamant that all pilots were unfaithful. He ended up with a divorce on that one. To my knowledge he never got back on the horse.

    What True Naval Aviators do on their day off. Take the Smoker to the grass strip and give glider and plane rides.

    Great shots Jim! I have a buddy that was a TWA guy now at AA, he is on reserve in Dallas and spends all his time out at a glider port in the area. The kids will go eat lunch around the camping table at the hangar any time I ask.

    I have a soft spot in my brain for original panel layout and instruments. Flew glass 12 years ago when I was working but
    like the old stuff in our series airplanes. Looks nice.
