I only had the pleasure of seeing his display once, but I have never forgotten it.

I am pretty sure Art Scholl’s famous Super Chipmunk was also Lycoming powered and still survives (in the Smithsonian?).

Some more information from my notes:

Can turtles even get freckles?

Or are they called spotted Turtles?

I would rather have “A bottle in front of me” than “A frontal labottamy!” 🙂

Having just had a quick look through the local free Metro paper at work (who said males couldn’t multi task), you have just reminded me to book this afternoon off work so I can go to the local beer festival. hic!:D

Easy Come, Easy Go (much like Flygirl 😀 )
Will you let me go?

And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

Does all this mean I missed the competition last night?:confused:?

Oh! What a shame….:D:D:D

Slightly higher than 5 meters and with no contrails, but sometimes there are some smaller ones…..

and there are the occasional bigger ones.
