See you there!

you may want to ask Pete Plumb in Ca.,if he can make them. He did the ones for my 65TC.
Mike

I pilot my 65TC/L-3 from the rear all the time. No big deal, this way I don't need the reading glasses for the panel,lol! People have asked me,why don't I fly it from the front with extra baggage in the rear? No brakes up front! I hardly use them for stopping anyway,but sure like to have them. http:...

came across a picture of my bird taken a few days ago. The nose art I cooked up myself.

You are welcome John ! Yup, I remembered the 5 blades,but did not know your procedure inside the cockpit,but I am also a former Chief pilot with an armstrong starter,so your bird was in the best of hands with our crew :) It was a real pleasure doing this little trip and I think its all about karma. ...

By the way,for those who don't know,this area was used in WWII by General George Patton to train the troops for Africa

I used a canvas bag from harbor freight(for a table saw dust collector) a bit on the large side,but I made it fit.

You are welcome Rich,
Great looking Champ!

Mike

I was wondering,if anyone has a copy of and air scout poster of the L-3 and would be willing to get me a quality scan. It makes a great tool if you have a bunch of school kids visit,
I saw it last a few years ago on ebay,but was unable to bid at the time

Thanks
Mike

nope,no trophy for me,lol. I did some air to air shots with Jerry this morning.
