1343 NM to the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center and back...

You really suck now! :-)

ROFL!!! You took the words out of my mouth Jack! I had already typed it but
thought Ole Jay may take it the wrong way. Sounds like he had an awesome
time and did a great job of it!

Great minds think alike, eh Jim? But, Jay take it the wrong way?
Coming from you? Nah! Besides, he already knows he sucks big time...we
just have to remind him of the fact now and then. Our duty as fellow
pilots you know. :-)

Did you get that oil door fixed yet?

Jay might not be up to speed with last week's news yet:

On Friday Jack's plane started falling apart ...in flight.

Technically, it wasn't in flight. Based on where we found the door,
approx 1000 ft. down the runway (DA was 6200 ft so it took a bit longer
than usual to commit aviation), we were not yet flying. It was more at
the point where you wonder just how long the airspeed indicator is going
to take to reach 65 MPH.

If it was an in-flight departure of the oil door, I'm sure it would have
happened at 12,500 over Lake Tahoe and I'd be whining about having to
spend $120+ on a new door. As it is, less than $15 in parts from Spruce
and an appointment with my brother the rivet master and I'll be good to go.

Only one beef I have with the story. The duct tape is not 100 MPH tape.

A buddy of mine was a master chief in the navy, during the 1st Gulf war.
Many times an F-18 was sent out with duct tape holding things together. So
that makes it what, Mach 1.2 tape?

Not yet. Parts should arrive from Spruce in the next day or so then
it's another week before me, the plane, my brother, and his rivet gun
can all be in the same place at the same time. Until then, 100 MPH tape
after each time the oil is checked.

Hey Margie, how come no left coasters were invited? How much did Jay
have to pay for the invite? :-)

Sounds like a very cool event by the way. The Smithsonian, particularly
the air and space museum and Udvar-Hazy center are on the list of places
I need to go.

I don't think he had to pay anything. However, there was a cost - sitting on
that bale of hay, in bib overalls, and 100 degree heat. :-)

Since it was Be A Pilot - Family Day, and you are the Spam Can Allison Clan,
maybe you've got a shot in the future.

Actually we had all types of aircraft. Tail draggers, Spam cans, tubular
steel and fabric, composite, military, Police, State, production and
experimental.
Have something interesting for next year?
