Speaking of smells in the cockpit....
I just sent my brother and my pietenpol to Tucson AZ for the winter. There
is a low pressure blowing in from the south and since Utah is north of AZ
he was going into the teeth of the wind. I watched him take off and climb
to 100' or so before he passed me. I raced down the taxiway and realized I
f I had another mile I could have caught him. His first fuel stop was abo
ut 100 miles away. He called about 3 hours later and reported that his hig
hest ground speed was 60 mph, and during climbs he was as low as 35 mph! W
inds and turbulence were as forecast. Near the end of the description he a
sked, have you ever been sick in an airplane? I responded yes, before I re
ally understood the implication. I asked him 'did you get sick?' He said
he now has greater appreciation for open cockpit airplanes, but that I hav
e new decoration down the fuselage side and tail... He said the hardest
part was choosing - over the left shoulder, or the right? He landed in RI
T (Richfield) after 2+ hours with winds gusting to 25kts (down the runway)
and didn't have time to clean up before flight service was calling him abou
t his overdue flight plan....
I miss the piet already!

On the return trip from Brodhead this year, Ben Taylor and I were flying fo
rmation to Antique Airfield, low & slow, and we flew over a bakery that fil
led the air with the fresh scent that bakery's are known for. That was the
most wonderful smell I've ever whiffed from my open cockpit !!
