Default Wish Me Luck --- Aero Commander

Well, last year I cart wheeled this baby on it's maiden flight. Sure wish I had that one back. I tried horsing it up because it was getting close to the end of the runway. Stupid I know............

After a year of repairs, here she is...... just a little bit heavier..... but looking better than ever.

If everthing goes as planned, I will re-maiden it this coming Labor Day weekend............

This is my partner Dell on the right. Picture taken at our local field which is not nearly large enough. I have to drive 100 miles to an adequate field.

I'd say that considering the two options, driving a hundred miles would be worth it...........
