Hey guys.  Between myself, Lynn, Marco, and Fred, we have a squadron!  Lets

come up with a central point where we can meet.  Also, there are other Foxes

here in MI, one at Pinconning and another at Traverse City area, but no on

the list so I don't know how to get hold of them.

Lynn,



That was Brian Peck.  He's a U2 driver at Beale. He's being deployed to the 

sandbox in a couple of months and I bought his Fox a few weeks ago.  Brian's 

a good guy and I wish him the best of luck on deployment.



The plane is a Series 5 with a Continental IO-240.  It really goes!!  It now 

resides near Ft Worth,  TX.

And don't forget Bill Willyard, Richard...oops, Richard is still 

building...Alan Blind in Benton Harbor, and there's a couple more that 

I saw in Oshkosh last year, if I can find where I wrote their tail 

numbers/locations down...gotta be on a scrap of paper somewhere amongst 

the crap I brought back from the Big "O" ...: )

Hey Bill...long time, no see...dial up 3NP on your GPS, then go 2.4 NM 

on a 137 magnetic heading, and you'll be at the field where my plane 

lives... geez, it almost sounds like I know what I'm talking 

about....that can be scary : )

Congratulations Lynn! I've got a sun roof and video gear. Let me know if you'd like a driver and capture some exciting video or photos. It would be a treat for me too...  I'm only about an hour away. Let me know.

Actually Len, I was referring to Duane Rueb, who currently houses his 

'fox at Lincoln. He has the same exact set-up as you.

Goose bumps? Hell yeah...as big as Easter eggs!  I was flittin' around 

the hangar before the flight like I was gonna take it up (or give 

birth), and I'm not ready for that yet....actually I'm ready, but 

common sense tells me to wait for a little more instruction on the 

tailwheel end of things.

And I will let you know...that'd be fun to have video...and you could 

pick up the header tank if you decide to take it.

I've seen one of the two in Mason at an EAA function there one Saturday 

morning at Mason Jewett. Are you old enough to remember Lay Jewett, 

drag racer?

I'm about 26.5 nautical miles southeast of TEW, on a heading of about 

160 at an un-charted field near 3NP, Napoleon. The field is called 

Howland Field by the two hanger-renters that "live" there. It's even 

got a sock with the name on it...stop by!

Napoleon is listed in the $100 Hamburger book.

Great! Sounds like fun to me. 

I'll pack my gear and be ready for your call.

I'll relay my cell# offline. 



I don't want that spammer to call me:)

- I got an E-mail this morning from m_yasir_sabri(at)yahoo.com! 

- I sent a note to 'abuse(at)yahoo.com' hoping they can do something about that guy.

Oh, oh, guys...it's an Ohio State'r ....just kidding, Jeff...I'm 

actually taking flight instruction from an Ohio State fan. 

Interestingly, he told me a while back I'd probably have been soloed by 

now if I wore red and grey. : )

Hey guys, sounds like we got us a squadron!

Now, my plane is done up in Dale Earnhardt colors...sort of...can we 

not have any Jeff Gordon planes show up.....please?

I guess I'm not old enough to remember Mr. Jewett.  I know napoleon well 

because of the skydive operation there.  I'll have to stop in at Howland 

field and look you up.

  I had a IV on aerocet amphibs at Mason Jewett for a few years.

Lay Jewett was driving a dragster at Stanton-McBride Dragway (now known 

as the Mid-Michigan Motor Complex, I think) back in the early 60's and 

was killed during a bad flip. (His family ran the Jewett Funeral Home 

in Mason) I was just getting into drag racing and his death was a shock 

to the local racing community.



Yes, please drop in...I'm spending more and more time there these days. 

In fact, one of the RC guys at the other end of the field was out 

yesterday to begin their season. He was flying a float plane off a 

small pond adjacent to the far end of the runway. High winds (10-14, 

gusts to 18mph) would have kept all but my biggest models parked, but 

this guy could really fly that thing. On his 2nd flight, he used part 

of the shore to finish his lift-off, then we heard the sound of the 

prop hitting the corn stubble beyond that, and finally it lifted off, 

flew around a few circuits then landed as sweet as could be in the 

water. Upon further inspection, there were 3 or 4 holes ripped in the 

wings by the corn stubble...but I digress...



Sorry to all for getting off topic...

you can take mine up and see what you think.
