Hopefully, that will close the gaps a bit. I owned a '47 Stinson but I
wrecked it outside El Paso in '96 and sold the wreck three years ago,
thus the e-mail address. I haven't jumped since I made the two illegal
jumps from the C-130 I was a loadmaster on back in 1983. I keep thinking
about it but the closest DZ is about 100 miles away and it would cost
about $500 just to get in one jump, what with the training course and
all. I'm hoping to get the U/L going this winter so I can take it down
on the border and use it for aerial surveillance with the Minutemen.

jim,
I'll be looking for ya. Give me a wing wag about a half mile off the
border in Laredo. Watch out for owls.

LLB




what kind of ultralight? i'd think you'd want to get some bulletproof plate
for under your seat and below the fuel tanks/engine. are you going to paint
some kind of message on the underside of the wing? (lol)

b.w.



Oh, I forgot, I'm building an Afford-A-Plane (see www.affordaplane.com
to see what it looks like.
