Sky the Tour Guide

Sky and I spent part of the morning giving a a HARM Museum tour to his Science teacher, Mrs. Jungbluth and her husband. It was chilly but with the enthusiasm of the tour guide, the morning flew by in no time.

Happy Campers

My class of 23 after passing the written test.

It's onto CPT (Cockpit procedures Trainer) from here.

To the Carving table.

One of the turkey's our Instructors cooked for us for Thanksgiving heads to the carving table.

The new torture (sim) chamber

I was able to get a quick tour of the torture chamber (flight sim) they are preparing for me next month. It's not as big as I thought it would be but takes a different thought process because the airplane is so big and has so much mass.

Creve Coeur's Got Talent! or So You think you can dance???

"Dolly and Kenny" opened the show with "Islands in the Stream."

The Local Pickers.

Comedian Les Grotpeter.

Al Stix plays guiter?

"I can't play guitar."

"How about a poem?"

Albert's Daughter, Chloe.

The youngest Stix enchants the crowd with

her rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

And fun was had by all.

Rick Ramin

My friend Rick Ramin poses with his recently purchased 1971 260 Comanche on a nice Sunday morning.

A few tasks to finish before I leave.

Sky and I went out to the airport this afternoon to help Glenn with an annual on the late Ken Kotik's Cub which has been sold and is going to Texas next week. We helped him remove the greenhouse glass, which is being replaced and then went over and hooked up the aileron pulleys on one wing and made the control cable for it.

I have a class date November 1, so will do a little touch-up on the compresson struts on the butt-end of the wings and then put everything away until after I finish training.
