thanks again gang! i'll be sure to check out the auction minnreefer, it does sound like a lot of fun. vmsguy, i fly out of a park in haistings. grass strip kinda deal. i don't know if i'd be lucky enough (to get away with) buying four planes at the auction, but it does peak my interest. where do you fly in new richmond? always looking for a new place to fly. so far as flying goes, maybe i'll listen to chashint and take the decathlon out to the park this afternoon...
