Brake fluids -Dot 5?

[johnny]

The leading two engine sounds was/is Hailwood lapping Talladega on the high bank and a round motor making takeoff power - Corky Fornoff's Bearcat was
an excellent example. Anyone gets back to Road Atlanta or the kart track across the highway let me know. It's a decent slingshot shot from my
backyard.

I spent a couple of weeks when I was 15 or so visiting my aunt and "new"
uncle (she was married 5 times) in Wenatchee, Wa. where he was employed as
a crop duster pilot. He was former WW 2 fighter pilot, and as wild as they
come. He dragged me out to the Wenatchee Airport with him, and introduced
me to round motors in fabric covered biplanes. Mostly Stearmans, but a
couple of other brands were there also.
5, 7, 9 cylinder round motors on 120 octane av-gas first thing in the
early dawn. I still have fond memories of those 2 weeks. They had a jump
seat that clipped into the dust hopper of a 450 stearman duster. My Uncle
Al gave me a ride in that thing I will never forget. I absolutely loved
every second of it.
Not scared, but it was one of my first experiences with an adrenaline
rush. Metal taste in the mouth, uncontrollable shakes, non stop jabbering.
The whole deal. From that time on I have always had a love of all things
aviation. Even started an I.C.S. course in learning how to fly. But
somewhere in there I learned about girls. Nuff said.

Well my first experience in a airplane was no where as cool as yours Jim but was as impressionable and memorable as well. I was 13 and a buddy of
mine’s dad had a high wing BeachCraft that he took me and his son for a ride I’ll never forget. Something with you climbing straight up till you
stall and cutting the engine and seeing the prop slowly turning and then as you do on the first hill on a rollercoaster roll on over and do the death
dive certainly stopped my heart for a sec and sufficiently loaded my pants. Never saw his dad laugh si hard when I squealed like a 12 year old girl.
Which seeing him laugh si hard in our situation had its own chilling effect at the time. Anyhow, will never forget that one.

PS: never would thought a Beachcraft highwing could do those kind of things!

One of my good friends recently died. He lived at the Independence, Oregon
Airpark. He left his widow a Beautifully restored certified for flight
Stagger Wing Beech. His widow had an offer of 400 K for it. I looked into
their value, and ones the caliber of this plane mostly sell for upwards of
1 million. I told her to shop around more for a better offer.

She should probably get some help from her husband's buddies to
advertise it properly. Aero Trader or Trade-a-Plane come to mind.
