Carson,
I've built a moth type tank in my center section. There should be some
shots of it posted by now at westcoastpiet.com
If not, I'd be happy to email you some. Holds 16.5 US gallons.

I'll be blasting off in my "Cherry Grove Missle" Wednesday or Thursday to a
ttend a couple of events on the way to C37 and OSH. Sure seems like a lot o
f long, hot, oily-days trusting an 80 year-old engine to get me from here
to there but-I'm just as excited as ever to get going. After all the fra
ntic last-minute scrambling, it's a magic transformation to just me and my
airplane and whatever I have packed.-The airplane-becomes my whole univ
erse. Absolutely no other worries or distractions. Every effort and thought
is low and slow pilotage and I can let myself go back to the era of Lindbe
rg, Post, Earhart and Pietenpol. Up before dawn and smelling farm families
brekfast cooking from 500'. Walks into tiny towns with my gas can. Flying i
n air so hot and humid that I can almost see it. Pitching my tent and playi
ng my harmonica (badly) before sacking out and eager to do itall over again
the next day. Makes me feel like a kid again! Heck, I am a kid again!!!
-
Then all the familiar faces at Brodhead and all the new ones asking the sam
e questions we all asked at one time or another and taking pictures and not
es to determine the direction their creation will take. Wondering-which o
nes-will be-the few that will-come back year after year with more que
stions and-eventually finish their airplanes. Corn and brats. Mosquitos.
Earplugs for sleep and a dawn buzz of the strip to get everyone moving. Thu
nderstorms of biblical proportions. Heat. Nice folks. Beautiful sunset form
ation flights. Hopping rides and feeling good about America.

And then the orgy of aviation that is Oshkosh.
-
Crowds, noise, lots of money disappearing and more aviation than anyone can
stand. Wondering if staying for a third day will lead to some kind of ment
al melt-down. Splitting after two days and reclaiming the lifestyle of the
30's again and being supremely happy to be on the way once more.

Can't wait. Wish me luck. All the other pilots, too.

Hi Lar,
?
Reading your post had me mesmerized half-way through. Felt this huge wave of envy;
I can't fly mine yet. Can't wait to join you. Next year, the Good Lord willing
and the creek don't rise. Really looking forward to seeing your very unique
Piet there again after a respite of a couple of years. Good luck my friend,
and God speed.

Couldn't have said it better Larry! Wish you terrific tailwinds, and many happy
landings enroute. Hope to see you all up there this year. We have some repairs
to get done when the parts get here, but I think we'll pull it off in the
11th hour. Dad's 11th Aviation Battallion was called, "Old Reliables", we're
gonna test that....HOOOOOAHH

I called the Brodhead contact in the Wisc flight guide and was told
there is no fuel at this time. They are waiting on a State inspection
and it may happen in time but not a for sure thing at this point.
Plan accordingly.

Everybody's been talking a bit lately about doing your part to encourage
the next generation of aviators. This morning I took my cousin's young
son flying in a rented 172 for his first flight in a small airplane. He
loved it!
I only wish I could afford to take every kid flying, but I'm no Warren
Buffet.
If you want to see some pics, they're on my website:

Enjoy the photos, and spread the love of aviation at every opportunity.

PS - Sorry to stray off topic, but I wanted to share some good aviation
news! I hope this is encouragement for more of us to take steps to
offer our time and airplanes to get more young people involved in
aviation. The Young Eagles program is great, but sometimes you gotta go
out on your own to get more kids involved. And don't forget, "kids"
come in all ages. Don't overlook the big grown-up "kids" leaning on the
proverbial airport fence!

My first student-passenger to be in 47309 (Aeronca) is to be my 62 yr old
step daughter. With her natural agility it wouldn't surprise me if she
soloed after about 4 hours
