Gas prices this morning in Ottawa Canada jumped to 120.09 which
translates to 4.90/gal. I may not be able to afford to fly when I get
the Piet finished!
New Orleans is under 6 meters of water which translates to 18 feet of
wet.Ya I'd say it disappeared.

That's $2.40 WHOLESALE.
I missed it, too, the first time I read it.

In other news, the city of New Orleans disappeared today. My personal
favorite for help in natural disasters is the Mennonite Disaster
Service. They come early, stay late; way, way after the TV cameras
leave:

Not to beat a dead horse, but the 6000 used 32" wheels. The 2000, 3000, 4000,
5000, 8000, and 9000 all used 30" wheels, unless they came with the optional 10"
wheels. Obviously, the very, very early couple of airplanes may have had 26",
but not many. As you obviously know, the Westberg drawing is just that, a
drawing, and not to be used for any authority. It is way wrong on many levels.

Thank you , Gene , for pointing out the error of my ways! ;-] Give me a second
to find a crayon so I can correct the Peter Westburg plans I was looking at!
(not! ;-) The Travel Air 2000 (OX-5 powered) actually was spec'ed out with
26 x 4 wheels (I was wrong!!) -- The 30 x 5 showed up on the 4000 3-seat Biplanes
& 6000 Monoplanes.
I stand corrected on trying to describe the shock cord arrangement on the 2000
-- but it is closer to the "Cub" then it is to the '34 "Improved" Piet (!).
For what it's worth, Doug Bryant (Wichita, KS) had built his Model "A" Piet with
"Improved" landing gear & wire wheels.

The Travel Air uses 30x5 wheels. The shock cord attaches to the axle and center
vee, unlike a Cub where the shock cord is entirely on the axle "spreader
bar." I could come up with measurements for the Travel Air if anyone thought
it would be useful, but I doubt it.

We have been watching you hard luck on the news.Many people never made
it through the storm.
Our heart goes out to you and yours at this time.It appears as though
there may not be a solution soon
to everyone's problems.We heard another Levey broke and that's not
good,not good at all.

I got my commercial CFI and CFII at Jackson. Times like this bring out
the best in people and the worst in people. I hope you told the guy
what he could do with the hundred that someone would eventually pay even
if you didn't. Yet with the jerks you don't hear about the good
stories. My dad after Camile picked up a camp stove for my aunt in
Gulfport at the time. He took it to the counter to check out. The
owner looked at him and asked, "Is this going to someone on the Gulf
Coast?" He told him it was for his sister in the Gulfport area. He
just said, "No charge, and wish her my best."
I was on the coast about 2 weeks after Camile. This has many
simularities. Its almost like you combine the flooding of Virginia, but
put it in worst terrain (New Orleans) and the other destruction and you
have damage that will last for decades. The last time I was there only
a few years ago you could still see some signs of Camile and that was
decades later. This one will be no different and likely worse in some
ways.
Hopefully those that had airplanes in the area got them out and can go
fly them occasionally to get away from the rest of the mess.
