   Fantastic!

   Now you need a 4 seater to take the whole family up.

   Very cool Stan,

   So you finally got it up and running!!!

   Congratulations.

   I took my Father-in-law up last week in the 172 and "nearly" lost it taking off in a crosswind.  It was an educational experience, ....and his first time in a light plane.  I don't think he has any idea how close we came to crashing....and I didn't tell him.

   BTW, I will be doing flight line duties at EAA AirVenture this year if you make it up North of  flatland.  Basically greeting and directing aircraft as they land.  So I'll keep an eye out for you if you decide to attend.

   JB

   Stan, the picture below was from the Google Earth thread.  The satelite picture was taken some time in the last few years.  I think the field is NW of Pontiac.  If you happen to be flying over in that area, you might take your camera.  I don't know if the folks still do field art, but it would be interesting if we had an updated pic.
