I for one managed to take to the sky on Wednesday, albeit in a Cessna and despite a 20 knot quartering wind. Once off the ground it was smooth sailing, although the landing was less than pretty, I never have been good at landing in a slip. Happy flying to all and to all a good night. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Jan E Zanutto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 7:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Remember Kitty Hawk > > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any > advice in this forum.]---- > > > Well since today is the 100th anniversary of powered flight I decided > that I MUST fly today.
