From: Mark Roberts Yep, it's just a big model, isn't it Ben?! Speaking of models: Jack Phillips: I know you are in NC (Raleigh if I remember correctly) and the first job offer I ever received was at a hobby shop in Raleigh at the mall when I was too young to drive. We lived in Cary (I went to Apex High School) and I had to turn down the job cause my parents wouldn't drive me to the mall for work. They said apply at the local grocery store to be a bag boy! Some fun there.... Harumph! At Apex High I was in the Aeronautical something or other class. The instructor, Mr. Buffalo, and ex F-104 pilot, bought the plans to 'The Flying Bathtub' and was going to start a class project building it the next year... My first shot at building a 'real' airplane, and while still in High School! I was in the CAP there at Raleigh, so this was perfect! We moved over the summer, and I never got to work on that project. So, I'm excited to start now. At least I don't have one foot in the grave yet! Pictures to follow soon, as I took them, but they are still on the camera.

Here's a history: http://www.joeld.net/citabria/history.html And here's a picture of the plane I saw - I thought it was the coolest thing in the world, as a seventeen year old brand new private pilot: Jack Phillips NX899JP "Icarus Plummet" Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jack Phillips Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 5:38 PM Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Flooding mess Man! I used to fly into that field all the time in my J-3 when I first learned to fly back in the early 70's. It's where I saw my first Citabria, as well as the prototype Decathlon (did you know the prototype Decathlon was an open cockpit parasol wing?). Very close to that airport is Mud Island, where the B-17F "Memphis Belle" is housed. I wonder if it got damaged? Mud Island is not very high above the Mississippi at best of times.
