Thanks, but we have our own problems at the moment.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

You ain't no snowbird, George...

Heck, it's colder by you than it's been here, no?

Hey Jay. Forget to go through the clean-up checklist after you landed? ;-)

Hmm...I see what you mean.

I was remembering taking these pictures after we landed, but I guess I took
'em when I was pre-flighting.

Whatever, it was friggin' COLD! :-)

Actually, it can be argued that one should have the flaps down while taxiing
on rough icy taxiways. Much like a soft-field take-off using flaps to
lighten the load on the wheels a bit.

Nonsense. It is obvious you do not have not much or any experience taxiing
on snow and ice. You want to maximize traction because there is very little
traction on snow and ice. Keep the flaps up.

That would be sort of like trying to carry a sheet of plywood across and outdoor
skating rink. The least little gust, and you're sailing away. Keep the flaps up.

Or even a steady cross wind. The Navion has a lot of sail area as it is when
it's broadside to the wind. It takes a lot of rudder to make it track straight in
a cross wind. The last thing I'd do is leave the flaps down in a taxi.
