michael...thanks for the follow-up. yes, now that you mention it, i do
remember someone last spring mentioning that after i got my ppl, i
needed to get with "a woman" somewhere southish about tailwheel etc.

very good, i will look into that further. if i can impose (on someone)
some more; how do i find anything about "harvey & rihn" on the ntsb
site. also, isn't there a site where i can plug in a tail # and get
details on the plane, owner history etc???
