Very similar colour scheme as my dad's 77 Skyhawk.
Will try to find some photos. Tried to find it by looking up the call letters. C-GYCG C-GYCG now resides on a Lockheed Electra (appears non-op) and I have no idea what had happened to dad's 172. |

Call sign PK-NIR. Is listed as expired registration within the last 3 years. Hmm. Will keep looking and see what I can find. |
Flew around for a bit this morning. We have been getting so much rain that I haven’t gotten to get out as much as I like.
I flew over Sebring, not much going on down there. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1566075205.jpg Flew around for about a hour and a half. Plane is running good. I flew my normal 150 knots at around 12 gph, and I flew at around 105 knots true a little under 7 gph. I was at 5500 on the way out to Sebring, dropped back down to 4500 for the way back. |

Hi H, I am very sorry to hear about your dad[emoji22], that is a very tough thing to have to deal with. That truly terrifies me with my aging parents. M & D with our Grandaughter, their GG-daughter.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...022dc0e604.jpg My pleasure on the pics, I have many more taken from the rear seat and low level through the mountains. It’s what I get for knowing a retired F-4/F-111/F-16/F-15 driving Full Bird. That is awesome that your dad’s VE is on static display at the CC. By chance, do you have any pics of the VE you could share. I would love to see it. I’ve been trolling the classified adds looking for either a VE or LE but they have been thin in the published periodicals. My friend bought his from a retired General he knew and worked with that built it. My friends has convinced me of just how enjoyable that are to fly and the speeds obtained and a low GPH burn rate. The downside is the limited cargo area for a travel bag. Guess it’s hard to check all the boxes when your a state employee and what you can afford. lol I’ve made some progress on the gear legs and was able to wet sand them before work today. I will admit, I just couldn’t help myself and had to do a quick “test spritz”[emoji6] I took some glory days shots with a couple of his old helmets and sent them to him while he is on his trip. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7b0ed3b9df.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0ed49fcacb.jpg Test spray to see how it laid down on the surface. Water sheen after wet dry 220. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fec197adfb.jpg Surface prime https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...865759db79.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Looks good. I use to see one flying when I was based in MO. The nose wheel looked a little spindly, but I guess it works.

Chalk-Art tribute on the nose of a U-2 in memory of “Shooter”, Flight 876. It was actually flown on a sortie after the accident. The instructor pilot that was lost a few years ago in a U-2 training accident out of Beale AFB. My brother worked for him.

Were running the serial number vs the old N#? We had another member post a pic of an old homebuilt bipe and when I did some snooping all I got back was no record on file. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can’t seem to get a preview frame in here. It’s a video of an AVRO RJ85 jet water bomber getting VERY close and personal with terra firma during his pull-up after dropping the retardant.

Yikes - Very close!

I think it might have been a biohazard in the cockpit until it was sanitized.
Stinky too.... |
