Speaking of YE  HAA..

*Christmas Eve at the Airport*

On the eve before Christmas all KR’s in the land

are snug in their hangars with birds called “spam-cans”.

The spam-cans all chuckle as they set in their stall

To see a winged creature with proportions so small

But the KR’s don’t mind for they’ve heard it before

And they’ve outlived the rumors, the legends, and lore

It’s been said they are tricky like walking on ice

But the pilots that fly them say they are really quite nice.

They’re as swift as a swallow as it chases a bug

Climbing and diving while the spam-can’s a slug

When it flies by low level you’d better not blink

For it’s there, then it’s gone in one half of a wink

They may be small but their size is just right

For stuffing your stocking if you’re good till tonight

Then you add some epoxy, get the wings set up right

And in no time at all, you’re ready for flight

So don’t fret or worry if you wake up in fear

And think you hear Santa, his sleigh, and reindeer

The buzzing, the swoosh, and the Y HAA’s you hear

Are KR pilots saying “it’s been a GREAT YEAR!”

Wishing a happy holiday season to all……..

For those people on the list who don’t want to take on building, 
getting a previously flown KR may be a faster track to flying one. If 
it’s the right one, worthy of your time, effort and money you might 
consider that path. I’ve done 2 now and getting them back into the air 
is quite rewarding! Yee Haw, right Larry Flesner?

Absolutely !!!  Having enjoyed 20 years and 800 hours of YE HA 
time after completing 211LF and now dealing with some ongoing medical 
issues I'll remind all builders  "aging is not a linear process so if 
you intend to do something get on with doing it, TODAY".

P.S. A seasonal observation:  Were Santa's reindeer ever disciplined or 
even given counseling about all the bullying they did to Rudolph with 
their laughing at him, calling him names, and not letting him play in 
reindeer games?  I'm guessing it was the unstated support of Mrs. Claus 
,a common trait in good mothers, that kept Rudolph from turning to a 
life of violence.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THAT 
CELEBRATE..
