Certified C-R-A-Z-Y

The generator in Brother Barbeau's Hatz Biplane is having "issues."  Our good friend, Les Kanna, of Unity Airfield fame, has a buddy that is a generator wizard.  His schedule was free Wednesday afternoon.  If we could meet him at Les' place at 4 PM, he'd take a look at the generator.


The temperature at departure time was in the mid thirties.  Brother Baker had to bundle up!  I handled the radio calls from the relative warmth of the Luscombe:  "Rock Hill traffic, Luscombe One One Four Three Bravo, flight of two, departing Runway Two Zero, Rock Hill. . ."


The Wizard said:  "Yep, it's busted.  Pull it off and I'll take back to the shop."


Twilight arrival at Jellystone Air Park. . .  Left Base, Runway Two Zero.


We found this note when we were putting the airplane to bed.
