Coolio on the solo operation, we have one here at Placerville. Ragtime Aero and he does amazing work. Has built a few planes for Kermit too. In on of the Smithsonian Magazine issues, he was mentioned in a story about the Howard Aircraft Company since he had fully restored several of them. Thought that was cool to see since Rick is such a nice and humble guy.




Ah man, that is very kind of you and I can’t express how much I appreciate the offer for AV. Unfortunately I am working all next week and since we have staffing shortages, I’m locked down. If I could swing it, I’d book a flight tonight. I have always wanted to go. Please take lots of pics and share them. I know many would appreciate it, especially me.

Got home today a little early from our unit training day and I decided to make a set of rudimentary heat shields for the VE.




Cheers,
Bugs
