I own an airplane that has been unairworthy for almost 3 years now (engine
was making metal large enough to punch visble holes in the oil filter paper). Only recently have I found the time and resources to put it back together. Since I'm about a week away from getting everything signed off, I've begun thinking about what I should do by way of ceremony now that it'll be airworthy again. I thinking of something along the lines of when they christen a boat, but I'm guessing that whacking a bottle of (do they use wine or champagne?) against a semi-monocoque(sp?) airframe is not a smart move. I'm not wanting to break a bottle on the prop, either for similar reasons. I'm mainly wanting to do this as a way of thanking everyone who has put effort into putting this aircraft back together and those who have seen this aircraft languishing on the ramp, waiting for me to do something about it. Am I just crazy? Is this over the top for a lowly C152? I know many on this newsgroup fly much more capable planes, what would you do? I'm planning on putting together a web page to walk through the process of the restoration. It's not anywhere near complete, but the work up to this point was to get it airworthy. Next I get to work on the interior. I'm not anywhere near as talanted as say, Jay Honeck, but we'll see. Louis Perley III N46000 @ BJC N370 @ BJC |
