Yes, on the tail. It was one thing many people remembered about the planeeven if they knew nothing about planes. He flew to Oshkosh and Broadheadmany times, but not in the last few years. Haven't heard any more on hiscondition. > Do you mean he had a rooster on his tail? Wish I had seen that.> > Brent Reed> -----Original Message-----

I sure hope he recovers OK.Be nice if I was flying at age 74. Even being alive would be nice. Only one outof 7 Brimhall Uncles made it past 71. He's the one who never left Arkansas.GordonBrent Reed wrote:> Do you mean he had a rooster on his tail? Wish I had seen that.>> Brent Reed> -----Original Message-----
