As a kid I flew all over the place to airshows and various fly-in restaurants in the midwest. We also did the KC to Tucson flight many, many times to visit friends in the area. Two memorable events were my ride in a Maule STOL Stratorocket. The guy wrung it out.... and I was holding down the puke. LOL.
the second memorable event was getting forced down in a line of thunderstroms near Salina, KS.....and "landing" in severe gusts on an abandoned airstrip. (the landing consisted of about 3 groundloops and the plane riding up on the left wing for a few hundred feet before we slammed to the ground)
Cool lookin rig you have there..... thanks for sharin'.
