Doing a couple of patterns this morning, before the heat was
overwhelming, I heard another plane - a C140? in the pattern calling
downwind for a 17 grass landing. This was a first, so I looked at
what was going on: to the right of the hard runway, was fresh mown grass.
And a taildragger, making a pretty landing. So I asked how it was, and
hearing the grass was smooth, decided I should renew acquaintance with
the green. * *And remembered for the first time in twenty years,
the rumble of wheels on grass. Sweet!

It's worth reminding renters that some rental agreements prohibit
landing on other than paved surfaces, or require a special checkout.
Be sure to read the fine print!
