Kirsten was disappointed it was so light because she wanted to see the canopy rain streaks in the propwash. Very inquisitive gal. Neither of us exactly enjoyed the bumps on the way home, but the "chop" was light by my standards. Kirsten has yet to have a bad flying experience, but I'm sure her day is coming when she sees the other side; hopefully not as a Young Eagle, though :-) -Bill -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Williams Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Miller --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Wayne Williams" Stormy, I appreciated the company on the way back.

Bummer we couldn't catch up but I enjoyed talking with the rest of the gang and seeing Dale Ensing's newly completed -6A and the rest of the outstanding RV's that where there to give me some inspiration to get back to the basement and pound some more rivets.
