Hi Gang:



Boy!  The weather has been rotten at hauck's holler.  Talk about cabin 

fever...........



Maybe this will brighten things up a bit.  Was going through the 

November 1999 copy of EAA Experimenter Magazine tonight and found a 

couple historical photos.



One is the Kolb Company's Fire Fly at Sun and Fun 1999.  This 

particular Sun and Fun was the transition flyin for old and new Kolb 

Aircraft.  Here is where I met my new bosses at TNK, although I was 

flying for Old Kolb.



The other photo is Old Kolb's Sling Shot.  Can not remember what year 

that was.  May have been Oshkosh 1998, or earlier.  Anyhow, this was 

my first flight in the Sling Shot.  Quite a bit of difference between 

it and all the other Kolb models I had flown up to that time.  Took a 

little time to adjust to those little bitty lift struts and wings. 

Once I found out I would not fall out of the sky and the SS would fly 

much like all the others, I had a ball.



Spring is coming,

Hi Malcomb:  No I don't know about them.



Made an ID mistake on the red Sling Shot.  That was Oshkosh 1999 and the Sling Shot belongs to Bruce Chesnut.  Was just now looking at that photo and saw the 912 sitting on it.  The old Kolb Sling Shot was powered with a 582.



Xin loi!

Hey John,

That exact plane is now a resident of Jones Light airfield.  Is owned by

a Mr. Mike Welch (not the one on this list of recent).  It has gone

through a few owners and couple of incidents but is now in good hands

and being cared for and flown regular.  Also has a 582 on it now...that

happened to come off Steven Greens M3...man what a small world it is.

Mike:



That's the "flying stork", Richard Swiderski's old Ultrastar.  I got on his tail and stayed there 30 mins before I showed myself and my Firestar.  That will be 20 years ago next November.  I met Richard the first time after we landed.  I was on my first long cross country flight from hauck's holler to Miami, FL, and return.  1,500 miles was a long ways to fly and live in a Firestar in 1987.
