Hah Andy, I think Pops and his Free-Flight pals knew that too well; that's why they brought us yung-uns along. We would run, watch, run, wait, watch, run, and run to retrieve those planes. Probably not all that far really, but when you're six it seemed like it. Also seemed as if they really enjoyed those Hamm's and Shlitz beers too! I think my brother might still have a 1/2A Viking or a Starduster X in the attic, I'll have to check.
Waiting on the red box too Cees!
