NetHeads, My kids found a present under the tree from somebody named Larry Flesner that they'd only heard me talk about. What was in the box was pretty dang cool (see http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/05122596m.jpg ). It seems he got the idea from the picture of Claire flying my plane for the first time, and it was lacking just one little thing, a nice KR hat. Thanks a lot, Larry!
Now I've gotta have one too! Maybe he can be talked into making and selling hats to the rest of us poor, deprived KR pilots. I'll get another three hours in tomorrow flying to my father's grass strip in LA (Lower Alabama). I'll bring my auto-pilot along again (Claire), complete with new hat. I totalled up my KR landings the other night, and it's right at 275 takeoffs and landings (not counting all the multiple bounces), and I haven't rolled it up in a ball yet! [Only two trips off the runway, and I managed to dodge the runway lights both times]. My insurance rates should be a little better next year with all the "time in type". Y'all have a good one...
