Once, many years ago. London, Kef, Gander and then home to St Paul MN.

Great story on your journey with the old Aztruck. I have my hours in a couple of Toads (that's what we called them from the flying toad emblem on the yoke) in the mid 80's when I flew 135. Similar stories of flying through all kinds of weather, hearing the slung ice banging on the side of the...

I haven't heard that phrase in years until just last night. We were first in a line of 7 jets all bound for KSTP, St Paul MN. These guys were faster so it was keep the speed up until about 3 miles out on right base. The Falcon right behind us said it as we were about to turn off the runway. He...

Starts with a B, but not the one you're thinking of, from 1961.

Another easy one. It's a Lockheed Y1C-23. The Lockheed Y1C-23 ‘Altair’ was the designation given to the sole DL-2 Altair after it was purchased by the USAAC. The 'Altair' was an improved version of the Lockheed 8 Sirius, originally produced at the request of Charles Lindbergh. The basic...

That Super Ventura at ANE was N234P and was flown by Robert McFarland, "Mac". He also flew a corporate B-25 NL75755, for Northern Pump off their private strip on East River Rd in Minneapolis. Mac was a great pilot, he flew all over the world in the 40's and 50's, he had experience in all kinds...

Benny Howard of DGA fame and Dee Howard the mod company are two different people. Both Howard 500's are based at my home field (ANE) near St Paul MN and they fly over my home every so often. Oh, and this Grumman Albatross is in the same hangar too. My photo.

I was on Prednisone for 10 months for PMR, starting at 15mg a day a year and a half ago and slowly tapered to 1mg ending last April. I talked to my AME first and he said less than 20 mg is allowed. Self reported on my last two medicals, and I have a 1st class for work. I've had no issues from...

In all my years of flying into ASE I've never landed on 33, thanks for that perspective.

Very nice again Jack, My favs are 1,2 and 3. The PA-12 is a very nice flying plane, my friend has one in our hangar.

Being from the area, I recognize everyone of those photos of St Paul's western suburbs. I assume the last one is your home drome.

Nice

Congrats! Sounds like a successful learning experience.

Wow, there's something you don't see everyday! Nice photos!

There are a couple of reasons the small Continental engines lose their prime in the oil pump. One is because of sitting too long without running, second is the oil pump gears are worn and or the alignment/clearance in the housing they're in. By lifting the tail you are trying to get the oil in...

Very nice

Why not do a simple 90 degree right turn instead of a left 270 to 35?

Very nice

Those are good solid photos that an owner or photographer should be proud of. I like 1,2 and 3 the best.
