If that ain't the truth, I don't know what is.
Great story Nico...

King Arthur and the Witch:
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring
kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and
ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer
a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer
and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even
the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query.
But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition
to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests,
the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one
could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the
answer.
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for
the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch.
She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price
first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the
Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth,
smelled like sewage, made obscene farty noises, etc. He had never encountered
such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden;
but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation
of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life
, and eveybody elses too .
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth
and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot
and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience,
entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful
woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot
asked what had happened
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as
a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time
and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off
to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch?
Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful
woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.
OKAY?
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because
he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now....what is the moral to this story?
Scroll down
The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly!

HI KIDS.
I thought I would share a recent adventure. A coupe weeks ago, Morris
Kernick headed up to a little town in Alaska to get a Commander. I have a
contract to supply 2 Commanders to an A&P school in SE Alabama. After looking
for
several months and at 13 derelict Commanders, the first usable airplane, a
680, was found in Galena Alaska, about 100 nm from the Arctic Circle. With the
help of TCFG member Steve Willis, we were successful if moving the airplane
1700nm to my home here in Washougal WA. It took 3 days to ready the airplane
for the ferry flight. The airplane had not flown in many years but was in
pretty good shape. All the avionics had been unceremoniously remove with what
looked like a sawsall!!
The trip to Washougla was completely uneventful and the airplane ran
like a Swiss watch. After some additional work , I flew the airplane the
remaining 1900nm to Enterprise Alabama, again without any trouble. The legs were
Galena to Wasilla (Anchorage) AK. Than, direct to Ketchcan, with a stop in
Sitka due to weather. From Kechican we flew direct to my home (Portland OR)
none stop. The last legs were Washougal direct to Lamar CO (987nm) then
direct to Enterprise (925nm). Coast to coast with one fuel stop!!
Had a bit of excitement coming into the states. The FSS at Ketchican
failed to activate our flight plan. We were intercepted by a couple of F-16s
from the Oregon Air Guard. After a difficult conversation on 121.5 with a
hand held radio, we were escorted to our destination. I haven't heard any more
from the FAA, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is the end of the
incident but who knows.
The next airplane, a 560A is in San Diego and I plan to pick it up next
week, if the FAA ever gives us the ferry permit. Hope all is well in your
Commanderland!!
PS Barry Collman. The A&P school is the Ozark-Enterprise Community College
and they now have 4 Commanders in there ownership. N800NE, a 560A, S/N267(?)
complete and could fly again, another 560A, S/N252 was in military paint
with no engines and cut off wings & tail, and a 680 S/N 466-136 also will never
fly again. It was converted to an "E" in 1974 and has a front door. The
airplane I delivered was N6814S S/N 680-14 a 680. It will remain intact and
could fly again.
