Hi Al,
We will be going to Parshall and Minot. I asked Linda where Glen Ullin
was and she had to look it up. We probably won't get there. It's on
the other side of the lake don't you know.
Parshall has a pretty nice paved runway, and a grass strip on the
chart, but when I was last there the grass looked awful thick and
high. All parking was tiedowns except for the locals. Probably 6 or 8
small hangers.
Thanks for breaking my bubble. I though I had an airplane. :)

The DAR came to day and gave me that magic little pink paper that says
my project has a "Special Airworthiness Certificate" so it is officially
an airplane.
Congratulations, Bob. Although I don't consider these things officially
airplanes until they fly:-).
Where you headed in ND? Be sure to stop in at my old home town - Glen
Ullin. There is absolutely nothing to do there; but they have a nice new
runway 4000 ft, and a transient hangar. I think there are about 2 airplanes
based at the field.

First flight will still be a while as there is one
component that needs upgrading - the pilot (me) needs a tailwheel
endorsement. I had an instructor lined up, but he lost the use of the
plane he was going to use to instruct me. I now have another
instructor and will work on the taildragger skills until my wife
insists on leaving for a visit to ND.
