John H,
Reading your post regarding runways and manure brings back memories of my
good friend, Frank, and his story of having to land in a cow pasture.
Besides his very animated description of the cow's foot potholes knocked him
about during the roll-out, he went on to describe the incredibly unpleasant
result of hitting cow patties at 30 mph with his landing wheels. OMG
He had us rolling on the ground laughing!!!! And he just stands there
with little bits of pasture shrapnel all over his clothes and face!
Still makes me laugh, just
thinking about it. Mike in SW Utah
Oh, BTW. This same Frank is why I ever became involved with Kolbs. He
purchased an UltraStar that was rotted away and rebuilt it. He is, without
a doubt, one of the best welder's around. He actually converted the
UltraStar to being a top-mount motor, by reversing the location of the boom
tube. In essence, he created a FireStar out of an U-Star.

Check the bottom of my wings. ;-(
I have been living with this problem for 23 years, but the price is
right and Miss P'fer does not have to worry herself about a home.
Neither do the antique tractors.
Reckon it is alright to discuss airstrips, although not many folks do
on this List.
I am out the door and heading for Gantt IAP to try out a new ENC DC
headset. My DRE is verging on going belly up and I do not want to be
caught out without some type of electronic noise canceling set. My
hearing has gotten so bad I can not decipher spoken word on a DC
passive headset any more. Blames all my flying buddies for bad radios
for a couple years before I discovered it was my bad ears.

Hi
the problem with cow manure, as well as the smell, is the hardness to which
it dries. Landing through manure is bad enough but at least you can clean
it off before it dries. Taking off through it and having to hack it off when
you land is a different story.
Ask me how I know!
Cheers
Pat
