Hi All:

18.5 min test hop last nite -- no major issues to deal with, just some tweaking. Life is good, if temporarily, as is generally the case with these older airplanes.

BTW I did not know I could hold my breath for 18.5 minutes. I'll bet that is a record! :shock:

Carry on!

Wonderful news Mark! Why is it that we can't seem to keep both Central Texas area B-25's in the air at the same time? <sigh> Hopefully someday soon!

The Rose's engine should be going back to the rebuilder this week or next I think. Can't wait to hear the autopsy report on it.

HooooRay and

Hooo Ahhh!

I love it when a plane comes together... More especially a CAF plane that has had more than its fair share of tribulations!

Great Job Beth and ALL the Devil Dawg Squadron!

Cuz,
The Dog and the Rose were the two B-25's invited with full fuel this year. I had to cancel the Rose, so I don't know which one will take her place, but I don't think the Dog Squad canceled their appearance, since they had the replacement engine on the way. So I'm willing to bet the Dog is there, and the T-shirts!

Am I right Mark?

Hey Mike:

All correct. In fact, we are doubling our load of shirts so everyone can buy 2! What a deal! :wink:

I heard that Miss Mitchell will stand in for the Rose, but that could be a rumor.

Carry on!
