Hello John,
G'day from Colorado! I live near Denver and fly an Ultrastar out of Erie airport
(KEIK). I would send the list a picture of my plane but don't know how...
I am a retiree and I'm returned to aviation last autumn after a 30-year lapse,
and I spend most of my flying practicing tailwheel landings. Its challenging flying
as my airfield is famous for crosswinds, but weather here is otherwise pretty
good if a little cold. I fly using a snowmobile suit when its cold. Come
summer (assuming lifting of COVID restrictions), I plan to do cross country flying
to see the rest of the state - Colorado is really quite pretty. USA general
aviation flying seems unaffected, but I only see solo flying being done, which
is a good thing as its good social distancing.
In general, the USA did not take COVID seriously and now is a mess. We have the
worlds highest COVID death toll. Some US cities ignored White House baloney and
went under stay at home order much earlier - San Francisco did so in mid March
and has stayed healthy. Like Australia, the US economic situation is pretty
bad. Amazingly, a few US states are still 'open for business', which improves
their economic situation some, but seems like insanity to me...
We still don't have toilet paper in stores here...Kudos to Australia for doing
it right!

Jeff Craddock,
I see you are a guest. This forum is about Kolb aircraft and not for political
comments. Please put your opinions about the White House on another forum.

Hi John,
What an amazing story you have and so much fun! Thanks for sharing it all. I
have just finished building my Firestar II here in West Australia and am now
test flying the 25 hours from our club field at Bindoon, a bit over an hour
north of Perth.
(https://superlight-aircraft-club-of-wa-inc.business.site/?m=true )
I had never had a chance to fly a FSII when I bought it at the factory, so
it was fortunate for me that one of the very experienced and capable club
members was my 'test pilot' for the first 5 hrs, as required by the RAAus.
I'm also prevented from flying because of the inter-regional travel
restrictions, but making the most of it anyway by catching up with other
things/projects at home.
I only have just a few hrs flight time on the FSII and just love the open
air amazing view - like riding a motorcycle through the air.
Some photos attached, including the 'alternative' panel (and pink flying
socks) which a friend of mine suggested :-)
Cheers
Steve
