There's an old joke about Dos XX. Something about needing a co-signor.

Hmmm. Thirty-fives aren't cheap... Nah.

Mine came today, too. Good job, Steve, and Merry Christmas!

In 1970, when I was making $5K/yr, I passed on a '41 J-3 that was for sale for $900.

Today, I make about $50K/yr. If J-3's sold for $9K today, I'd have one for myself, one for each of my kids,...

The thought of the landing
Set my knees a-quiver

When I was a kid, a lot of the aerial applicators used diesel fuel as a carrier instead of water. It weighed 6lb/gal instead of 8lbs, and since the industrial-strength 2-4-D used then was mostly...
