Hi Ted,I am from the Bay Area and volunteer at an antique air museum, "Wings of History", in San Martin, near San Jose. I am involved in the Pietenpol project.We will be working on the Ford engine this Saturday. The airframe also hasbeen making good progress. Our URL: http://www.wingsofhistory.org/museum.htmThe museum is across the street from the South County Airport, if you are flying in. There are many other interesting aircraft on display, such as: Stearman PT17, 1928 American Eagle, deHavilland Comet, 1927 Waco 10, several gliders, etc. The library collection is very impressive.Come on down!JayHi,I just found out I have Friday afternoon and all day Saturday to bum aroundthe San Fran area.

Ted,If you have access to a car, there is a couple of interesting "grass-roots"airports in Sonoma, about 40 minutes north of SF. Schellville is on HWY 121,about two miles south of the town of Sonoma. Lots of homebuilts, including aCorvair Piet, and restorations. About a mile north of Schellville Airport isSonoma Sky Park, also a hotbed of "grass-roots" flying, with at least onePiet project under way, as well as quite a few "exotics", including myErcoupe. Hope you make it by to say "Hello!"Don Cooley, Hangar G-4, Sonoma Skypark________________________________________________________________________________
