I'm flying mine from Winnipeg (almost 800 miles). It would be very cool if a couple of us showed up together. My stops are Brandon, Russel, Yorkton, Lanigan, Saskatoon, Unity, Provost, Sedgewick-Killam, and Camrose. Hopefully will make it in three days. (I have 4 hours of flight endurance, but my butt sure doesn't) The Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin has a Model A Powered Pietenpol on display. Should be quite a good time.

Boy Accused Of Stealing Small Plane, Taking 30 Minute Flight FORT PAYNE, Ala. -- This joyride lasted about a half hour, in the air. Police in Fort Payne said a 14-year-old boy has been arrested for stealing a Cessna. He's accused of taking off and landing twice before being arrested. The teen suffered minor cuts and bruises on the second landing because the plane came down hard. Its propeller dug into a road beside the airport. Police Chief David Walker said the teen found a key in the unlocked plane, started the engine and "The next thing he knew, he was in the air." The teen, who had never flown before, was believed to have been in the air for nearly 30 minutes. Fort Payne is about 80 miles northeast of Birmingham. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:45:03 PM PST US From: TomTravis@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: see.....anyone can fly ! Mike, Dang, I've been doing this flying thing for nearly 50 years and thought it was harder than that. I must just be a slow learner.

The Fort Payne airport is in a valley between two mountains. He's lucky he didn't fly into one of them. Been there, didn't do it!

Mike C. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:07:13 PM PST US From: "Mike McCarty" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: see.....anyone can fly ! One news report I read said that he came from a relatively poor family and likely did not have access to any flight simulator games. The reports said he took his mothers minivan, drove to the airport and after finding keys in the plane he started it up and taxied it around until he found himself airborne. He landed it once, went for a joy ride over the city, and then on the second landing attempt it got squirrely and he departed the runway, heading for the airport fence. He shoved in the throttle and cleared the fence but then stalled it and crashed on a road. -Mac ----- Original Message ----- From: DJ Vegh To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 3:24 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: see.....anyone can fly ! can you say Microsoft Flight Simulator??
