The group may not be aware of a similar gathering of Piet's to celebratethe 60th anniversary of the Pietenpol designs at Oshkosh '89. The April'90 Sport Aviation carries a good article on the occasion, and theelectric affect it had on the Oshkosh crowd when 19 Piet's arrived enmasse from Brodhead late one afternoon. It was pre-arranged with theEAA officials to park them all in one area for the crowd to see, and itwas a very popular event. Included in the group were LeBlond radial,Corvair, Ford, Franklin, Continental and Funk engines! Sounds like ablast, maybe for the 70th it will be even better!Mike List________________________________________________________________________________
