In the sky over Kansas

I saw this near our airport HUT last week. This looked more fun than going back home to fallen powerlines and broken branches.

I hope there's a VOR out there somewhere, otherwise someone got a little lost!

I just wonder who came up with the STC to make a Malibu fly with a 55-gallon drum in place of the engine and propeller!

Unable to make contrails in a piston, I wonder if it's possible to fit airshow-type smoke to a C-172. Wouldn't that be a fun way to see if you maintained altitude on steep turns?

I'm sure you could - it's just dumping a chemical into the exhaust pipe that makes the smoke...

The drum is only the ballast for our new glider conversion. Many Malibus became a glider ruining people's day, so now we will start out it out right with no engine.
I just wish the owner would sign the work order or come glide it away. It's been here to way long.

I was thinking the same thing.
