Bummer dude. You can't get to the Fly-In if you have a flat tire. Once again, JSU teamwork saves the day.......
The Perl Acre cats are notorious for sucking the air out of
airplane tires. Nobody would believe me but I kid you not. 'Tis true!
Oh my aching back. Isn't this supposed to be an ultralight
tire? Look at this...there really are teeth marks. The little bugger bit right
through the stem.
Now if I can hold my thumb over the hole long enough, you just might get
airborne...Anybody got any gum?
Oh goody, we found another tube. How many pounds? Dunno, just
keep pumping until it gets nice and hard.
Ok, who's got the lugnuts?
Well, we all finally made it in spite of that minor catsastrophy that held us up
just long enough for Garry to drink all the coffee and eat all the blueberry
muffins at Pemberton in the morning before he drove out to Perl to fly back with
the rest of us. With the exception of one who was already at Pemberton, it was
an all-officers flight. Nice trip over, but the heat and humidity were on the way up. Didn't faze us or our
visitors from other clubs who were all eager to sample the other great food the
club had to
offer.
This is known as a Trike. Kinda like a hang glider on
steroids.
Ok, I'm gonna stash your 50/50 tickets right here. Nice safe
place.
