I just received the 2008 Vintage Airplanes calendar, with my plane as
"Miss January!"

Nice. Seen a good few Rockets for sale in the last year or so. Strange
since I don't think I've seen as many in my life!

The last one (#7) was on ebay and belonged to a freind who died. His
heirs don't fly and didn't know how to sell a rare bird. It went to
another resident here (presumably at a "steal me" price, including
spares). I have been in contact with the new owner and expect to do some
formation flying with him. He has been waxing enthusiastic over it.

The other one was the 1993 Oshkosh Grand Champion Vintage and is
available (not at a "steal me" price). There are three presently flyable.
