Mike,

Glad to hear you have been to Western Drug! Now you know I'm not BS'ing.

I finally gave up my flying 2 years ago, getting to hard to pass my medicals, BUT if I could get a 195 and keep my wife too I would re-up my flying!

Tim I have been up in an old Stinson Station Wagon when I was about 17 or so,one of the reasons I took up flying. flew a Pacer and even a "flying rock" (Tri- Pacer). Trying not to look up as much anymore.

I have a 73 Gran Torino Sport I'm gonna try to fix up, that'll keep my funds well used,why I stocked up on my ammo now..............

Any of you flyboys ever fly an Air & Space 18A gyroplane?  I worked at the factory that built them, got a few hours dual time in it.

I have seen a couple but never flown one. I used to own a retired C-123 Air Force twin engine recip cargo plane back in the 80s. But I did fly a replica of the Red Baron Fokker a few years back. What a ride. Dont know how he ever shot down anyone.

I have flown the F/A 18 simulators out at the Navy base, that's pretty cool.

Congratulations.  ’56 Victorias are always popular at car shows and partly due to so few actually showing up at these venues. I’ll have to believe that the crowds do get tired of looking at cars with bellybutton engines.  Do you have any other pictures of the event in which to share?

Ted, love the bellybutton engine quote. I'll have to use that  Show was put on by Mingus high school. Apparently fewer high schools today have auto shop classes  and fewer still a hot rod club. Anyway show was to benefit them. Here a a few more shots of the show, 87 cars there and my wife got all Chebbies. 57 Bel air belongs to a friend Bob Hammons, one of the nicest I've seen. I have done a bunch of work on it lately, Good practice for when I do mine in a couple months. 64 Chevelle belongs to my best friend Rick Newlee. Great car he keeps improving on. He is building a new 406 stroker motor for it now. He also helps Bob and I out with all the parts we need made or welded as he is a machinist by trade.
