Hi Tony, I hang my head in shame - you are totally correct and I misidentified the plane. Can I blame my poor vision on all the wind and rain? Either way, it was a delight to meet you and Tina and I'm already looking at the forecasts for flying to Oshkosh in 2020! -- Jonesy
Mike, you've been hanging around Cessnas too long. That's a Piper Cherokee :-) Coming from a dry climate sure made the humid piping a challenge! We sure had a lot of fun at Oshkosh despite the weather.
