At that point the project is trucked 5 miles to the Prineville Airport where final assembly takes place in a hangar. Resist pulling back, instead letting it accelerate in ground effect (or should we say water effect) for a few seconds. The plane will fly itself off.

The entire morning was a parade of general aviation airplanes swooping low (some lower than others) over the parking area before touching down on the ice. An observation of salt stains on my hangar floor ultimately led to the fire department hosing off the entire 4,800 foot long runway. I went airplane spotting. Still.not cool.

With me in Warrior 481 were my friend Mark, who joined me for the last excursion to ORA and also sought closure from the aborted airshow, and Noah, a new student pilot with the Williamson Flying Club making his first cross country trip by general aviation aircraft. I spotted something new incongruously placed in the Curtiss hangar.
