He sorta looks like a barn builder guy, but I can't quite place him.

I'm thinking D.B. Cooper.

Not sure either, but the people in both pics seem to be interested in what he has to say. :cool:

Those were the most exciting and fun days of my life...................so far that is, even to include my time as a test pilot for Aerostar.

Belive it or not, I have had one of those things up to 37,500 MSL and a TAS of 465 MPH and a IAS of 319 MPH at 30,000, not on the same flights just to be clear.

At airshows, it was routine to buzz the runway at 10' off the deck at Vne.

AHHHH, those were the days.

Shoot I was going to guess Judge Crater.

That's Awesome...

Also I've noticed that someone has built an airstrip approximately 5 miles to the NW of your home...

It looks like a fly in golf community...

[Deans BMW]

Actually that has been there for some years, but it has been lengthened in the past two years.

Fly in golf and resedental community.

I want an ultralite big time.

My next plane will be an American Champion Super Decathlon…

180HP, Constant speed propeller, GPS...

So do I; maybe we can get a Dean Deal. There were three here last weekend, and they were all decked out like motorcyclists in the sky.

And, if you want to keep the attention of the mere mortals here, may I suggest you explain your arcane pilots' lingo? Otherwise, your next construction query will be delivered to you in Latin.

Man, oh man. About a brazillion years ago I took lessons in an Air Knocker Champ. Flip prop, wire on cork sticking out of the cowling for fuel level, no radio, damn near no instruments.... flying out of an uncontrolled grass field*. A 72-year-old teaching me about the differences of flying with a stick and tail dragger. Good stuff.

It's amazing what they've been able to do with the children of that old bird.

WW has a point...

Half the trick of commanding a high salary is to come up with professional lingo no one else understands. Hence use of Latin by lawyers.

OK, WW...my translation:

MSL - (above) mean sea level
TAS - True Air Speed
IAS - indicated air speed
Vne - Vancouver Noseflute Ensemble


.... or, maybe, just maybe, Velocity, not to exceed.

I am paid big bucks to decipher acronyms for customers and to create new ones for us to decipher in future engagements. How cool is that.

This is the "Race Master" adding a little something special to the fuel.

Are you guys ready for this........................

Mz Pam just saw the pic of the Challanger Ultralite........and said "Lets Get One". How cool is that.

We could easily carve out a runway on the property up here. I think I would want the Hurth engine however.

[Rchop]

Oh boy :041: I can't wait to see it now..."The Mortorcyclist Cafe' Bunkhouse, Barn, Airport, Hair Care and Tire Center" Ron White will be live in the lounge on Friday nights. LOL

We have sent off for all the info on the Challenger and are looking for the closest dealer.

Don't forget, you only get to go around on this beautiful blue marble once.

[Rchop]

Are you going to build it yourself? Single seat or 2 place?

What fun it would be to build something like that :dance:, and you have the place to do it now! Wish I lived closer so I could help :icon_cry: You'll be done with the barn soon, so another project is in order anyway.

Of course, you'll have to do something about that paint job...it's a little :ymca:

The paint job is so the plane will be easy to spot when you run out of fuel out in the desert... :mwink:

Now that's an aircraft I could afford. If I only lived in AZ.
