[Mark Nankivil]

Looks really great Eric - congrats on a beaut of a job.

I live in St. Louis too - I would love to come out and photograph you on the ramp and runway - may I PM you and find out when you're flying in the near future?

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Dean - I am trying to get to DFW, see above.

Taylor - You need to get Gordon to come up and visit some time.

Nick - When are you coming back to the U.S.?

Mark - P.M. me about the photo shoot.

Scott- I'm pretty sure we can still ruin T Shirts, bring 'em on.

ALL THE REST - thanks for the kind comments, I am not naive about the oil leaks, but I am commited to keep on top of it. We will see

We are back over in August, but touring with friends in Arizona. After that who knows! (it all depends on the two W's, work and wife).

It's a great looking airplane and you display it well. Lots of praise to you and your maintainers!

This is my first post to WIX so I hope I am getting it right.

Here are two additional photos from that day.

Ed, I knew there was somethign familiar about your plane and this weekend I was in Galveston and was talking to the guys about the Skyraider they used to own. I remembrer it when Jim Faus flew it back then. Howard Pardue has a great memory for names and recalled Jim. I think he lives in Florida now.It looks like you've got her dressed up in Sunday best, but who ever heard of a clean Skyraider; it's like a quiet Harley.

A Radial Engine with NO leaks ?? Man I always thought if a radial DIDN'T leak you had problems And, as a Harley owner myself, there's no such thing as a "quiet one"
