That's great news! I know it's been at least a couple of years she's been sitting there sans engine.

Great news Doug..

Great news Doug.. :D

So what is now the total time since last "logged" flight :?:

Just curious.

Hooray! Do you have to change your WIX handle now to "FG1C Pilot"?

Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:36 pm

Great news Doug! I can't wait to see her in 3 weeks. It's been awhile since she has ventured down here. Are you guys bringing anything else?

Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:32 pm

OK Doug, you know you'll have to update Cavanaugh's web-site by adding the FG-1C to Fina-CAF Airsho 2007. Hint Hint...

Michel, it all depends...... if we can count all the "flights" Doug has had sitting in the cockpit making engine noises as "logged" time, then its about a week. :lol:
