Photographic legend - Set six Hi Martin, Restoration shots on the way, meanwhile here's more. We flew her 24 hours in 6 days last week, now we'll stand
down for a few days for a little TLC. First sequence is takeoff from Renton to stage over to Boeing Field in Seattle since
we were heading to Missoula Montana last Friday with lots of fuel and souls on board, next bunch when we got to Missoula and
right to left it's our #1 son Colin, his classmate Katie, and best friend Willy, then next photo left to right it's me, Colin,
Katie's mom, Willy's dad, Willy, Norm Koerner in the silver moustache with wife Shirley, and Katie, then Norm in the cockpit
where he is used to sitting he's flown this A26 more than 200 hours over 20 years and 3 owners including taking it to Moscow
in the early 1990s, the rest is landing on 34 at Renton where the 737s are built just over the hill from Boeing Field including
an engine shutdown for practice and an approach to Paine Field where the 747s and 787s are built with Norm in the right seat
and Brad Meeuwse our crew chief flying. Back in the hangar at Renton all the other planes look like they're admiring Sexy
Sue with great respect, Brad's wife Amy and puppydog Diesel (half grown!). with kind regards, Peter |
