Here is a picture of our very own Freebird at the controls of his Durastick for the first time. I think he really enjoyed himself.He's the one in the white hat.

That's _jon_ in the background getting ready to fly his Sirex Wasp. He's getting pretty good with it.

So Now Who Is Red Faced??

Thanks for noticing I was there. Between all those "KNIFE EDGES" you were flying and the hamburgers you were eating I didn't think you saw me. Nice pic, but you didn't get one of the plane. Hope my wife did, if so I'll try to get it scan'd in and see if I can get it to post.

P.S. Dave (in the red hat) is a great instructor! He saved me more than once.

Here's a shot of me and Dan the same day. I believe Dan is bragging to me "how fast his Cessna 182" is.

Jon :)

That hurt Jon, that hurt.LOL

Here is the "Plane"

So is this where the fuel goes? Second time fueling, getting ready for the first flight, I just had to ask...

Dave (instructor) tried to make me feel good by cracking up his combat. I figure I got his thumbs FAT flying my trainer. What a guy. He made me have a better day than he had.

Gary wants to help me learn to fly too. He toasted his Dazzler on this fine day (just to show me how, is my thought). His Cap 232 flew real well. I can only hope Gary will get involved in my training..

I can not put into words the value I have found in the Whitley County Barnstormer. They a great bunch, and I know they will make my learning of this hobby a real joy for me as well as my wife. She bought me the plane for Christmas.. If I can only convince Dan (fourstar40) and Jon (_jon_) to hook up buddy-cords and work with "NEW BEES". The whole bunch is great. I can not wait until I get it figured out and I know these are the people who can make it happen...


Thanks WCB
