              Great looking shots....and what a great day to go flying. I know clouds and rain are the norm in those parts but you guys lucked out.

              So where was that at? The Sound? Union Lake (or Lake Union?).

                          So what are you waiting for Pete? The airplane to swoop down and pick you up? I know about 6 guys that have GA aircraft, find one that wants to fly offer to pay his gas and landing fees and away you go.

                              no $$$ to blow on it, my friend. if i was gonna do it professionally i could see investing in flying again, but i'm in Aviation Managment now.

                              but that doesn't mean i still can't bitch about not flying ;)

                                  Cool shots of Tacoma James.

                                  My dad has a 1965 Piper Cherokee 140..sadly he doesnt get around to flying it much and matter fact i think he is or atleast was trying to sell it the price was i beileve 25 or 26k. IIRC

                                  i am most likly very wrong with the price but again i might not who knows
