Air&Space did an article on the Howard line. It was neat to see Rick mentioned about one of his fine restorations, which cost more than our house......
Rick and several other KPVF locals fly over to Wings at Auburn, KAUN for lunch on Fridays, weather permitting. I would always call them the Friday lunch bunch. As they would return, our home is directly under their flight paths as they would come in for a mid-field entry into the downwind. I am always amazed how fast those Howards would fly at. Big airframe and big radial was a very good combo. Big fuel burn too.
