Hi Bill,
I was just having a silly prod at your "sand off the excess" signature ending. I appreciate what you say about the commonplace but they are not commonplace to me. A blue spitfire should be rather fetching, I'd venture there's probably one at OSKOSH (Spelling?) Nevertheless I really love your Waco. Dicknadine in another thread was planning an Arc en Ciel Airliner, that was a really uncommon aircraft. Alas it came to nothing, his house was demolished by Katrina and he lost everything but his life and wife.

For some reason I am unable to upload pic's. I found a two seat job that is I believe flown by the widow of the builder/rebuilder. She gives rides which must be a real buzz for non pilots. My uncertainty is if this is the self same aircraft
