He had picked it up at Oshkosh and was flying it home a few states south. Line of sight management elected me to help push the precious flying artifact to within reach of the avgas hose. Talk about a worshipful experience. Perfect, blue and yellow, and full of stories hearable only by an annointed few. Felt oddly compelled to utter very few words in its presence, and then only humbly in hushed tones. And yes, the impassioned heart manifested as a full-day grin.

Picked it up at the old Boom's (Boom Trenchard's Flarepath) on the north side of the approach end of runway 27 at SAN, near Jim's. I picked it up on a X-country weekend back in 74. Happy to donate to the cause, if you can use it. Lex,

A unique experience of great mental benefit to me; keep trying to find a way to convince myself that it is also physically beneficial, still working on that.
