Bill & Sue -

Beautiful repair job and documentation. I told you before, Bill, that you ought to take up writing.

Yesterday a friend and I were cruising at 6,000 feet in our new, shiny ES. Out of nowhere three buzzards in formation appeared -  slightly above and to the right of the fuselage. In an instant, your replay of events crossed my mind because they looked like they were aligned with the right wing and might conform to their flight manual and go down. Instead, they maintained altitude and we slipped by the formation. I swear I could see the leader giving us the evil eye. They were that close.

Thanks again for all your great commentary.

John Schroeder
