Oh, on a happier note...Yesterday, I flew my�Yak 55�from Ricky B's hangar to his new home in Oklahoma (at least for the next couple years until the AF decides to move me again).� First x-cntry in him and it was full of adventure.� My air to ground�comms went out, I was�txmitting but not receiving, that made me change my mid course destination�to a non-towered airport (Dodge City vice Garden City), didn't feel like dealing with light gun signals and sqk'n nordo, etc.��Did a go-around there, didn't like the winds on my chosen rnwy when I got down low...hey�gimme a break it's like my 3rd landing in the a/c.� Haha.� Landed perfectly after that, refueled then apparently I�didn't use enough brut force to start him back up and was only engaging the starter half way...shit didn't know you had to be a body builder to start an airplane, haha, where is my key?!?!��So, I depleted the air supply.��This is where the fun began, had to get the mx dude to come over�with some Nitro to refill�me and he�couldn't find the right adapter,�etc.� Well, about an hour later I was full and rarin' to go.� Did find out though from the�mx dude that apparently there is a guy on the field there at DDC that has 3�Yaks.� He�wasn't�certain what type, but he knew they were round motors and he described what sounded like a 55, a 52 and a 50.� Anyone know who that is?� I was pleasantly surprised that someone in Kansas had quite the collection of Russian a/c.� Anyway, I made it home to El Reno safe and sound and with a little bit too much smash on the final landing, oh well, I am still learning, and there is a reason I�got that call sign!� �Thank God it's a forgiving a/c!�
