YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Gee - being out of town for a few days and I miss all the good stuff, not only the rest of the story, but flight 1 and 2 as well. Well done Jones, if Langford gets his sht together before Mt V, I will be there for sure. I will not sing anything, for anyone, for any reason, but I will be there. Ok?

He acknowledged that he had seen something and I immediately turned to the airport. Joe in turned pulled up beside me to check for damage on my stabilizers. He reported to me all looked ok. I could not detect any abnormalities either in flight characteristics or engine performance. Landing back at the airport was normal. Upon exiting the plane and checking it over, I found no indication of a bird, such as feathers or blood but I did find the front part of my spinner was gone. The spinner had separated from the aircraft and struck the prop being thrown up and over the top of my plane. It did absolutely no damage except for a small scratch on the prop. The contributing factor to this event was the lack of a front bulkhead spinner. Do not fly without one. I am just waiting on some farmer to show up on the news tonight with this strange looking piece of alien spaceship that fell in his field. After that bit of excitement, Joe and I then went to the local restaurant and Joe bought me lunch. I now owe him one. When we got back to the airport we went flying again and he took air to air photos of my plane. What a day.............I now have 3.6 total KR flight hours.
