Spring Classic.

June 1st.. Sure is a pretty day. My neighbor who farms tells me that this spring has been unseasonably cool and wet. His melons have had a false start. He will cut my hay this week. I can't cut the airstrip often enough. As I write this my buddy Russell is shooting some landings in a Cher Oh Kee. They taxi in and shut down and we chat for a while. I love the plane they are in. It's a 180. The last year of the hershey bar wing. 1975 I believe. So it's got the big interior, the console throttle and switches etc. This one has a wing leveler. Leather. Strobes. A 430. A Gizmo 396 to go with it. To me, this is the perfect GA aircraft. And here it was on my turf. I invited it to my fly-in on July 25. Hope to see it and you there. GA Informal.
