capt. mike

You should know better - that's my Grumman flying in there.

That was last year- and on our way back up from La Paz we stopped in at Serenidad on Saturday night and pigged out.

A friend of mine has the machine shop that makes those Weber like carbs. I just up loaded to his site for the video.
They make a real nice carb. I remember some VW powered planes and those engines sure do look like ours except without the old M4 leaking Marvel. Instead they had mucho little 2 barrels and they were nice.

This uploading of videos is making me get out some old tapes from 18 years ago. I have a video landing at Serenidad 18years ago. I also have video of Carnival in La Paz from that same trip. It's just a lot of trouble figuring out how to edit all the tape. Any Nomads know how to edit video? HELP

well hope Mike AKA El Camote ?? checks in he is a vid pro, has a place in SF or did but hardly see him here.

well they hauled out the 206 in pieces yesterday, forklifted onto an enclosed semi trailer then the wings and tail. i have never seen them do it that way, usually a flat bed and bunks straps. so i didn't get any pictures of it. the guys were not very ginger to the body, if it was my bird i'd a been here - more hangar type rash for sure! just from the loading, i'd be peeed.

cold and windy still rules the rooste here. i am ready for warm someplace............
