Someone said the turnout at the fly-ins is scarce around this part of the country. Nothing could be further from the truth. This was the Forest Lake Minnesota fly-in yesterday, where my Kolbra engine and panel were stolen out of the hanger. We had a great turnout and my wife and I helped out with whatever we could.
I would rather be flying ....

Ralph,
I have to agree, Mankato Minnesota's Fly-In breakfast had record attendance this year. A nice variety of aircraft showing up for the morning. With Great Food , Great music, and Great antique cars.

Chris, the investigation is still on. The BCA (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) has 3 sets of prints from the Kolbra. I will let people know if they find the culprits. Someone out there is looking at some serious jail time.
I decided to rebuild the Kolbra. The airframe is intact, but it will need re-wiring with a new panel, instruments, and engine. There were many custom-made parts that will need to be made. Mark German is willing to do this for me. He wants to see me get the Kolbra back in the air. I'm coming out of retirement and looking for work. It will take 2 years for me to save the money to get what I want. A couple of years of of my life will be worth it to fly again. Good things come in time.
Thanks Chris for your interest in the case ...
