I just don't see how anyone can "enforce" anything.

Oh, on a happier note...Yesterday, I flew my Yak 55 from Ricky B's hangar to his new home in Oklahoma (at least for the next couple years until the AF decides to move me again). First x-cntry in him and it was full of adventure. My air to ground comms went out, I was txmitting but not receiving, that made me change my mid course destination to a non-towered airport (Dodge City vice Garden City), didn't feel like dealing with light gun signals and sqk'n nordo, etc. Did a go-around there, didn't like the winds on my chosen rnwy when I got down low...hey gimme a break it's like my 3rd landing in the a/c. Haha. Landed perfectly after that, refueled then apparently I didn't use enough brut force to start him back up and was only engaging the starter half way...shit didn't know you had to be a body builder to start an airplane, haha, where is my key?!?! So, I depleted the air supply. This is where the fun began, had to get the mx dude to come over with some Nitro to refill me and he couldn't find the right adapter, etc. Well, about an hour later I was full and rarin' to go. Did find out though from the mx dude that apparently there is a guy on the field there at DDC that has 3 Yaks. He wasn't certain what type, but he knew they were round motors and he described what sounded like a 55, a 52 and a 50. Anyone know who that is? I was pleasantly surprised that someone in Kansas had quite the collection of Russian a/c. Anyway, I made it home to El Reno safe and sound and with a little bit too much smash on the final landing, oh well, I am still learning, and there is a reason I got that call sign! Thank God it's a forgiving a/c!
