Hello good Piet-Ple,A good friend of mine, Bob Parks recently sent me a couple photos I thought folksmight enjoy on this site......Bob is an amazing aviation artist ( http://www.parkzart.com/ ) (some of his paintings are in the Smithsonian's collection), worked at Boeing for 48 years (I worked with him for the last several of his career), learned to fly Stearmans in WWII, flew airshows as the "flying farmer" routine, and lots more....... (He has a new book out as well: http://www.amazon.com/From-Crystal-High ... 1503105679 )The Pietenpol in the photos was owned by Pete Bowers who was an amazing aviationhistorian. Pete had over 200,000 aviation photos in his collection when he passeda few years ago. That photo collection is now part of the Archives at theMuseum of Flight in Seattle.Enjoy some simple and basic flying "as shown how to do it right" by two wonderfulgentlemen.....!!!!--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/1969 ... __________
