Currently slated for a start date of August 6, barring any administrative holdups. Both of the face to face interviews faltered, they had way too high of standards, not too mention too many cheifs, not enough indians...

Sure is! got up early to be able to finish pulling the motor and trans out of a scrapper car, sweating like crazy anyway... Now to get cleaned up to go check out the only flying B29 left, and a P51 Mustang. They are going to be at the Cedar Rapids airport for a little show today.

Good morning Iowa!

I love those old WWII planes Roger. Especially love the sound those radial engines make when they are flying.

Had a pair of I assume fighters fly over yesterday, likely headed toward Osh Kosh. They were too high to identify exactly.

Nice. I have about a dozen T6 trainers over here at work (DBQ Airport). They come here to practice for the Oshkosh Air Show. Good stuff.

Good morning Iowa! Thanks Scott, got it! Going to be a busy day here this morning, QC inspection at 9, then off to the doc to see about the MRI on my knee I had on Tuesday.

Hope the knee is all relatively good news.

Might see the flags more, doesn't mean it will be on the winning side...
