Some pictures a friend of mine sent me from West Palm Beach. He flew his
Arrow down there and could get out before the hurricane. They still don't
have power down there.

Anyone heard from lister Ted Brousseau since Wilma hit Naples, FL?
Graham Hansen
(In Alberta, Canada which isn't hurricane country. Our problems with cold, ice
and snow pale in comparison with theirs.)

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Steve Ruse <steve@wotelectronics.com>
Last Saturday I finally got my first flight in "Chuckie", the B-17 at the
Vintage Flying Museum in Fort Worth. For the last two years when I've had time
on weekends, I volunteer at the museum, mostly working on the B-17. We flew out
to Granbury and back, and buzzed ( two passes, 1,000'AGL) Pecan Plantation
(local residential airstrip) on the way over. I don't have time to do a full
write up now (I wouldn't do it justice anyway), but I did put together a video,
hopefully that is good enough for now. This will be a VERY hard flight to top
in the future.
Sorry for the quality of the video, keep in mind this was my first time using
the camera (I bought it the day before). It was also my first try at editing
video, and I was trying to do other "crew duties" while taking the video, so a
lot of it didn't turn out great.

Steve--- that was great. Thanks for sharing your ride with us. If that
was your first time using the camera and
first time editing--I'll look forward to when you get really good at
it. That was a fun ride--thank you !

He'll let us know more later but I wanted to pass his note on:
"All is well. A few trees down. A little leak in the ceiling. We now have electricity
and
water."
VERY good news....

Hello fellow Pietenpol listers,
I am just getting back on line after Wilma visited us.We barely got
scratched. Lost some trees, electricity, water and got a little water
damage on a part of the ceiling. Otherwise, just plain scary at about 5 AM.
We got as close to the eye as you can get without being in it. I would have
rather been hit by the eye. At least we would have gotten a break. The
backside of the hurricane, when combined with the strong cold front, did the
most damage. Several aircraft were totaled. I have attached a picture of
my friend's Cessna 172. The whole hangar ended upside down along with the
172 inside it!!! Now for the interesting part - for Pietenpol people at
least. After they took the 172 down my friend asked if they would go back
up and see if any of his Pietenpol parts (for one he is restoring) were
still in the hangar. They went up and came down with both struts and all
the tail feathers. Not a scratch on anything. They were just laying on
the ceiling. The wings were in my hangar and the fuselage was home in his
garage. He still has the whole thing!!!
All of my planes (and those in my custody) survived without a scratch. No
Pietenpols in SW Florida got injured. I was worried about the predicted
storm surge and when I went to bed the night before I wondered if my years
of work on my Piet were going to get water soaked in the garage down below.
Fortunately they were off by about 8 feet. We got 4" of surge according to
my boat floating at the dock in my back yard. Whew.
We have just gotten electricity and enough water pressure to take a hot
shower. Traffic lights are out around town. No electricity at the airport,
so no hangar doors can be opened. Telephone service is spotty
Otherwise, LIFE IS GOOD. Compared to those on the east coast we are just
being inconvenienced. My daughter came over this afternoon to take a hot
shower, buy gas and get chlorine for their pool. None of which are
available
in Ft. Lauderdale.
Sorry this ran so long and had little Pietenpol content. It just feels so
good to be able to reach out to friends after this ordeal. Hope to see you
all at Brodhead next year.
Ted Brousseau
Naples Florida
PS A friend invited my to fly to OSH next year in his Citation. I think I
will turn him down. How can I trade 25 hours in a Pietenpol for 3 hours in
a jet? Hands down no comparison.
