Hmmm . . . I think airplanes were Darryl's thing. Tom
definitely preferred things with big rubber tires.

a long weekend coming up we could try for a morning flight before the

have to worry about running out of daylight while trying to get home.

Understood. Dr. Dee and I owned 1K1 for a time back in
'89. Took 6-months to find out that I wasn't cut out
to be an airport owner. It was like being a dairy farmer . . .
sun-up-to-sun-down, 7/365. Had a LOT of fun but other
things we wanted to do too had to be set aside.
When we had it, there was only 2600' of asphalt
and the pole-barns.

It's sure a lot different now! I'll have to get over
there an collect another picture for the before-n-after
gallery.
Any excuse to go flying! I think I'm going to be in
Wichita all weekend.
