I have the tires and wheels here, but doubt they will fit on his axles - I have custom (longer) axles to take the wider 6" wheels. I do, however, have 6 quarts of oil waiting.

Smile Passing through Missoula, Montana

Did Vlad have something to do with this in Missoula, Montana yesterday?

Vlad told me you enticed him to land in Prosser with promises of free gas, boating, babes, and bikinis. I'm not sure which one of them he'd be most disappointed about if it didn't happen.

Definitely need pictures...

It is a suspicious coincidence I agree, but this happened before Vlad arrived. His departure route from Missoula took him directly over the scene of the crime but alas it had already been committed. I also did not notice any wing-mounted guns that he could use to strafe capitalist bourgeoisie airplane parts.

Let's think about this for a minute... It happened BEFORE he arrived. How do you know what he was doing before he got to Missoula? He could have gone out of his way, done the deed and then headed back to Missoula. Those Ruskies are pretty tricky when necessary. Don't want to cast stones here, but better proof of his whereabouts might be required. I think we need to be on the lookout for any other strange activity along his route of travel. This could be part of an escape plan...

BTW the Moose Drool was excellent,
Thanks Vlad

Default APRS

I agree. I would not make the assumption that a sneaky Russkie wouldn't divert to take out a tempting target full of Boeing products. However, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I was monitoring his arrival pathway. I wanted to make sure that our capitalist goods and women and children were safe so I watched his every move for a couple hours before he arrived - and escorted him continuously on the ground. Unless he figured out a way to trick the APRS, he was nowhere near the scene of the crime. If they find bullet holes and shell casings with cyrillic stamps I'll have to revisit this question. However, he must be a well trained spy because he behaved like the perfect gentleman the entire time.

Glad the Moose Drool was good. Stop in any time and I'll take you to the 5 microbreweries in town. Now what happened to the sixth Moose Drool?

Vlad has decided that he needed a well deserved break from aviation so...the well know 9 was placed in the hanger.


Vlad has a new passion....RV9 may be on market in near future. Vlad was trained, soloed, and took his check ride in 30 minutes.





The test was passed when Vlad conquered the wakeboard.

Those are definitely pilot's legs - strong enough to press rudder peddles and flexible enough to egress cockpits. Minimal weight.

Jack - looks like a great day!
