Robert August and Rob Ramey came over after work today and helped me flip the canoe off of the saw horses and onto the new stand I built yesterday. I went to college/A&P school with both these guys, and Rob was my roommate for a year or so. We all moved to ICT and went to work at either Cessna or Beech about 25 years ago. Cant believe its been that long! I've known these guys and their wives since forever.

Robert sent a picture to one of our old A&P instructors who is in his 80's and still very into all things aviation. HIs caution from the last time I talked to him was that everybody he knows who's built an airplane has sold it and immediately started building another.

I have to admit that after it was upright, I had to just stare at it for a minute. It's really starting to look like an airplane!
