Had a very hard weekend. Was up early on Sat to get to the airport. About 0830, my ride showed up to take me to the fly-in. Sam Korth picked me up in Hans's TBM-3E and we flew to Casa grande. After a day spent showing the plane and answering questions, we flew to Falcon Field and put the bird to rest and then I headed home. It was a tough day, that hr or so of flight time in a WWII combat vet is rough.;)

Matt, It's always nice to fly with Sam, he makes it fun! Were you able to make a deal on the PBY stuff we discussed? Regards,

Oh you poor guy, try getting up everday at 0500. Going to school for six hours. Working out for two hours. Then get to bed at around eleven. And some how I still find time to hang around on this dumb site! :shock: :lol:
Just kidding Scott.

Yes, I did notice that "cat that ate the canary" smile on your face when you landed at Falcon. Must have been absolutely gruesome. BTW, thanks for the logbook samples.
