My airplane is an Aeronca 15AC Sedan, which is a four place with the control wheels in the front. Some have thought this would be "stick" time. It will still be valuable taildragger time I think, even though it won't be behind a stick. Just want you all to know. Looking forward to it.

This year I will find you for sure. On 5/7/08, HelsperSew@aol.com wrote: > > Hi all, > > I wanted to clarify my offer of taildragger time at Brodhead (available to > Pietenpol builders).

The first day would still be the same no matter what... two long legs from San Antonio to Shreveport and overnight at Corky's. That will be Wednesday, July 23rd. Thursday would be four legs, a bit over 500 statute miles, from Shreveport to Little Rock/Poplar Bluff/Mt. Vernon, Illinois. Mt. Vernon is where the annual KR Gathering has been held in the past and is not a definite overnight but somewhere in that area because I know they are airplane-friendly. Friday the 25th would be in two legs from Mt. Vernon to the Peoria area and on to Brodhead, putting me on the field sometime around noon on the opening day of the fly-in. I would get settled in and enjoy Brodhead on Friday afternoon, Saturday, Saturday night, and plan to leave sometime before noon Sunday, July 27th. Return flight would probably be more direct but similar route and stops. I know by that time I will be playing the part of the tired pre-WWII Army Air Force trainee, my airplane safely tied down at the field and the warm engine still ticking as it cools off on that Monday July 28. The evening would find me slouched in the nearest pub somewhere around Peoria, my leather jacket open and goggles pushed back on my head, white scarf hanging limp, and me downing some cold brews and ordering a round on the house to celebrate my 57th birthday that day. Tired, sunburned, saddle-sore, but still enjoying the stick and rudder every time the tires leave the ground as we head home. I figure 2400 statute miles round trip, 4 gal./hr. at $4.50/gallon means I'd pay about $720 for avgas for the trip. Talk about a "$100 hamburger"... plus five days vacation time from work ;o) I guess a Pietenpoler has to make the flight at least once in a lifetime or his Piet will forever be restless in its spirit.

I admired the wild little new-build Dormoy Bathtub sporting an original Heath engine that was there last year... so it was really heartbreaking to find this report in the FAA preliminary incident data. Condolences to the pilot's family and what I'm sure is many, many friends. **************************************************************************** **** IDENTIFICATION Regis#: 538 Make/Model: EXP Description: EXP BATHTUB 2007 Date: 05/05/2008 Time: 2203 Event Type: Accident Highest Injury: Fatal Mid Air: N Missing: N Damage: Destroyed LOCATION City: BRODHEAD State: WI Country: US DESCRIPTION AIRCRAFT CRASHED UNDER UNKNOWN CIRCUMSTANCES INTO A FIELD, THE ONE PERSON ON BOARD WAS FATALLY INJURED, NEAR BRODHEAD, WI INJURY DATA Total Fatal: 1 # Crew: 1 Fat: 1 Ser: 0 Min: 0 Unk: # Pass: 0 Fat: 0 Ser: 0 Min: 0 Unk: # Grnd: Fat: 0 Ser: 0 Min: 0 Unk: WEATHER: JVL2245Z 80010KT 10SM SCT110 23/00 A2995 OTHER DATA Activity: Unknown Phase: Unknown Operation: OTHER FAA FSDO: MILWAUKEE, WI (GL13) Entry date: 05/06/2008 **************************************************************************** **** -Mike Mike Whaley MerlinFAC@cfl.rr.com ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 08:15:25 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Taildragger time at Brodhead From: "Bill Church" Dan, If you don't mind lugging a not-yet-pilot Pietenpol builder around, I won't even mention that your plane has a wheel instead of a stick. I'd love to get a ride in a classic plane like yours. Bill C.

As long it's got the two big wheels in the front and the little one in the back it is a taildragger. I'd love to take you up on it if you don't get too swamped.
