Just rolled into Sandpoint Idaho to pick up Royce’s Tanarg for an Annual Inspection. Damn, there’s enough room in this hangar to fly around… Then again, I can’t imagine Royce doing anything ‘small’. What is really cool though is that there isn’t a spec of dirt anywhere. His other airplanes are immaculate too. Well done.
Finished delivery & orientation with new trike of Don. Don already flies every other category & class of aircraft – so this will be a great addition…
Ordean will smile for the picture – but we’re ‘burnin daylight’… Farmers & equipment operators always learn fast. By the way, I see that Idaho has legalized airborne varmit control for ranchers. Nice. Aircraft Store
Off to the Port of Seattle to clear customs & pick up a trike… Gonna be a long day of driving, paper shuffling, then driving again… Gonna finish off an audiobook though – Howard Zinn’s ‘A Peoples History of the United States’… Interesting. Den – 509.990.5060 Iphone Email Aircraft
Every trip to Seattle requires a stop at Pike Street for a 24hr pack of crab & oysters… I know, it only takes 5 hours to get back home, but it takes 10 hours to find your truck then sit in 1-5 traffic… Aircraft New Aircraft

“A family affair!” Ron was the first of 3 family members learning to fly trikes here in Cheney to solo! Congrats Ron! I’ve seen many talented machinists come through my school & the gizmos they make – but Ron, a blacksmith, comes up with some of the coolest stuff yet. Den – 509.990.5060 Iphone Email Aircraft
Lauren’s 2nd flight – but already in the front seat! Not bad for an attorney. : ) I figured she’d rather sit in the back, relax & spin the hits on the iPod but I was wrong – she’d rather just go ahead & fly the damn thing. Den – 509.990.5060 Iphone Email Aircraft
Fall flying is alway pretty fun. 4 or 5 hours of cold, stable air to go cruise around in. Covered over 140 miles of Eastern WA & North Idaho this afternoon while Tom settled in. Aircraft Training
Passed our second of three FAA inspections. After flying it for 30 min without a headset, it is quite possibly the quietest aircraft ever built for the recreational flyer. Yes, that’s an afro. Den – 509.990.5060 Iphone Email Inspection
