I guess that would not be "my" Geronimo, which according to the FAA
database is now registered in Georgia. With the pointy nose and 180 hp
engines, it lifted out of 24C very nicely, even on hot days with a few
people on board. I don't remember the hills being a problem but
watching the trees go by under the wheels was fun. One plane came in
with a stick punched through a wing tip. Not sure how he managed that
without hanging up his gear in the trees.


Yet more proof there is a God. Why else, other than knowing we were going to
be flying over them in a few million years, would he/she make the tops of
trees the softest.
