Getin'um ready for the Lamar flyin. For our foreign friends; getin'um = getting them ready. Interesting thing happened; was going like "Bat out of Hell" ( translation = Going a little fast) in the old Viper jet. You know how it is. Runways get dirty and need dusting, so there I was at 5 or so feet, dusting, pulled up, my VSI pegged at 3000/fpm, stopped for a moment went through the 3000/fpm and went around again! Probably not good for the instrument, but somethings are worth bustin'!! (breaking) Back seat is still meters/sec. It was pegged at 60. Rolled over the top at about 15,000'. I admit, is was nice. Good to know the old L-29 "pig" has still got it. My L-39 never did that. I wish you guys could come to Lamar. It'll be fun. You don't need to bring a jet. Just put gas in ours. We have 2 to play with and one for those special occasions. We have 12 Yaks coming. And several owners have offered to put vistors in the front seats of their Yaks to brush up the basics before spending big fuel bucks in the L-29s. Nice offer! Still wondering if Pete & Jack are doing well. Haven't heard.
