Hard Red Wheat. and weads. Speaking of OK fires - the hangar across the runway from us burned to the ground yesterday evening - several load explosions, huge plumes of black smoke - excitement all around. Surprisingly, the fire was contained to the hanger and a few vehicles parked nearby. Two country fire departments arrived and worked to contain it, then pulled what was left of the building down and tried to prevent further fires from erupting. They left around 8:30PM, then returned after midnight to check on it. No injuries - the owner was at work miles away when it started. No idea yet of the cause, etc. One less Bellanca in the fleet now - - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellanca_Viking
