Hello Gene
I am in Castle Rock, few miles south of Denver, come on down and you can
look at my fuselage, tail and center section (and tore-down Corvair engine).
Give me a call 303-681-2193. Don't get a lot of strangers around these here
parts working on Piets.

Commander Corky,
Sign my building partner Floyd (old WWII marine) up, for shore patrol in FL coast.
N-1033B armed with plastic milk jugs, in case of forced bayou (aka FL swamp)
landing, that gallon milk jug thing did work out didn't it? Or did you have
something else in mind for those milk jugs, think maybe they'd make kinda brutal
water ballons?
Gordon Bowen -Homer Alaska (who cares if FAA medical is temp invalid-this is war)
Cozy IV N64CY (grounded for paint camo paint job)
Osprey II N64SY (currently patrolling Alaskan Bananabelt coastline)
Pietenpol N-1033B (armed and waiting for the call-up)

Who are we going to bomb?I am still in the process of finishing my plane
and bomb racks can be installed.It's not too late!
I'd say I'm good for at least one 200lb bomb and if I loose 50lbs we can
up that to 250lb.bomb eh!
