.. Funny how sailing and flying kind of go
together.

Lots of sitting resulting in flabby thighs.

True! That's why I have a membership at the gym and a very nice treadmill
at home.

I also jog at the park and play tennis and golf when I get a chance. Not to
mention other activities...

Seems to me that in this case, close is close enough. :-)

Hey, LP--

Have you ever had the opportunity to take a ride in, or fly, an L-39
Albatross? Just curious. I'd love to own one if they weren't so
impractical.

Hi Max,
No, I haven't ever had the opportunity to fly in one yet. A millionaire
had one at Tulsa International where I had an office for years. There's
supposed to be another one at Sundance Airpark in NW OKC. I think a
doctor owns that one.
In 1998 there were only 5 in the U.S. (private buyers).

Many sailors at the Wednesday night races this summer had their own
aircraft or a big interest in them. Funny how sailing and flying kind of
go together.

We like air/wind and all the things one can do with it/them.

I've got a ride in an L-39 coming up this spring. Can hardly wait. There
are quite a few for sale these days, but most still have instruments with
Cyrillic numerals and letters.

Like a wing turned on it's side.

I'm envious! Good for you. Be sure and take some pictures and give us a
report when you get back. I hope you are buffed for the experience, you
will enjoy it much more if you are in good physical shape.

Not really surprised about the instruments. Where are you going to have
this little adventure? In Gadsden, Alabama?

A friend in Oshkosh, WI, owns one. He picked it up from a California gent
about a year ago. It has been completely restored with instruments in
English and Arabic numerals. It is painted in an attractive silver metallic
and the interior is essentially olive drab. The engine is relatively low
time. The previous owner had a hot section done the year he bought it, and
then did a major the following year. My friend is not particularly adept at
aerobatics, but I am. I'm hoping he'll allow me to show off a bit.
