Rupert Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I knew I had it somewhere....:) [ATTACH=CONFIG]216541[/ATTACH] JAN THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S ONE OF YOUR PLANES!! It's parked, apparently after landing, in an area which only has puddles of water!! Even the planes I "borrow" from your hanger from time to time are always wetter than that!! :p Michael BTW: That last case of Highland Park you "bought" me is about to run out. Don't be surprised to see another purchase on your credit card! statement!;) Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Listen: Any idea why it was parked there for 3 months in the burning sun with the door OPEN? To dry it! OK? PAH and TSK! :mad: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
