LettersFromFlyoverCountry Well Known Member Sep 13, 2008 #3 Second Pete's assessment. Doug Weiler is one of those guys that when he leaves your hangar, you kick yourself for not being a better person. And he's got time on his hands now. He took the Northwest buyout and is living the life of the country gentleman (while building a 7).
