Subject: Pietenpol-List: Home from Brodhead and OSHI touched down at Twin Rivers Airstrip in Glasgow, VA yesterday about 4 p.m. The flight home was about 12 hours total from Oshkosh, with an overnight in Marion, IN. Weather was beautiful for the entire flight, but I hear I left some messy stuff in OSH that came in yesterday (Wednesday) morning. It was great meeting a lot of you in person that I've felt like I've known through the list for years. Dan, Kevin and Shelly, John, Shad, Gary - Boothe and Bell, Rob, Bill, Greg and a lot of others I look forward to seeing next year, though I probably won't be flying the Piet in again for a few years until my butt heals. Many thanks to Jack Phillips for the use of his prop andhis help in getting Nine Mike Lima airborne again after the gear trouble. I think die springs are definitely in the works. Thanks also to Jeff who got Jack and me primo parking for our Piets at Oshkosh right next to the Brown Gate. That was a thrill. Good luck with you project and let me know if I can be of any help as you progress. Blue Skies to all of you.
