We just received the following message from Phil Jones.
It is really great to hear his own enthusiasm in bringing
young folks into the air. Likewise it's always a pleasure
to be able to get some of these guys up on the cover
and make them "one of us."
g'day from 'Downunder',
thanks a lot...
Man, you folks are really doing a great job putting notes
on your pictures. Instead of seeing DSC_0932 we get to
know cool things about the most unusual places in the world
seen from the seat of a cub or smiling Cub folks standing
around just proud to be on the same planet.
For instance: just...
I saw this photo flash across the "Cover"
and wondered how many pilots would know enough to
carry a couple of nets to fill with rocks ....

"Joe, We're in a a fourwheel drive diesel truck with a camper in the bed..
On top of the camper we tied down a Super Cub Fuselage Frame.
Don't worry about missing us. The truck is orange."
Just was on the AOPA website and saw the slides of Galveston Airport.
So many destroyed planes...
Why would people just leave them out to die like that?

and a heat shroud I incurred the following
expenses.

1 EGT probe 88.50
All in all a successful annual.
Last month I changed the shock biscuits...

Cloudy,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for providing us with
a first class read to enjoy over the Christmas Break.
Your book is nothing but First Class and I will be
forevermore proud to tell folks I'll be lending it to
that I share membership in an organization with you.
You said you...
Well, we've all been asking the big question, "Where's Gunny?"
And Gunny replies, "Man I've been bustin my buns this past
year just trying to do enough work so I can take a little Break."
And now the cat's outta tha bag!
BUSTED! HOOOAHHHH

Just when I thought I was completely ready to pass a ramp check I read the following in AOPA on line. This is impossible. Now I have to get a ruler and a calculator and check out the w/h ratios of my numbers or my insurance may be invalid since I am illegal.

At the risk of sounding old fashion, I wish to thank
everyone for the frequency the words MERRY CHRISTMAS
have been seen on our SC.Org website!
What a pleasure to read and speak aloud those two
memorable sounds that not only carry me back to my
own childhood but weld me into that of my...
Down here we're always worring about "where are
our future Cub drivers. How come no kids are
fence hangers any more?"
Well, according to the latest news from Auntee' our
