So, both men chopped ice, shoveled snow, and dug out Jim's 4x4, in silent
tribute to their friendship. :-)

Sorry, Michael -- more thread hijacking...

Actually, (and I know you won't believe this), we never even SAW Jim's
plane, or his hangar. We just piled into the Burns Family Fleet
(which is what it takes to move two entire families off field to
lunch), and drove to a nearby (fantastic) Italian restaurant. Best
shrimp alfredo I've had in years.

Then, after kibbitzing for an hour or two, it was back to the airport,
to take pictures in the big snow. They've got everything cleaned up
nicely, now, although the street signs partially obscured by snow
piles pay silent tribute to the size of the storm!

Thanks again to the Burns', who dropped what they were doing (Jim was
helping a friend install an engine in a 182 -- I'll bet Jim's friend
wasn't happy to see us coming!) in order to visit with us on a
beautiful Sunday afternoon.
