The End of 2020 - At Last

Don't get me wrong I'm in no hurry to come to the end of anything .. the calendar unrolls all too quickly at this stage of my "event horizon" .. its just that 2020 has been such a bugger of a year that I'm ready to breathe the fictional breath of fresh air that is supposed to accompany a New Year.

Now that the days are beginning to lengthen, all eyes around the hangar are turning to getting the annual and condition inspections out of the way and even getting a little flying in when the weather cooperates.
Hangar space is at a premium around here. Nuff said.
The CallAir Cadet is still for sale, though the price has fallen to $45,000. I still enjoy flying it, but I don't fly it enough.

During the days when there's no flying or fixing or stuff that presses to be done, it's nice to catch up with a new, old friend I've never met. Brigid is a redhead who flies, hunts, likes good whisky, loves dogs and old guns and to top it off, loves to cook. What's not to like? I tried one of her pancake recipes - fantastic.

Hi Alex…this is Geoff Pritchard. Some years back you wrote about a fellow by the name of Rick Thompson in Orlando that was restoring a ‘34 Fairchild C8C. I have tried to track him down, as I am looking at a C8C project myself, and would love to get in touch with him, and ask a few technical questions. Would you happen to have his contact info?

Thanks Alex!
