# 48 N800MB KLUK-KLUK 9-29-09     A sit-around at Cincinnati's Lunken airport gave me a change to take a couple quick rides with instructor Eric Adams.  This one is the Beach Skipper, BE-77..	# 49 N6868D LKUK-KLUK 9-29-09  Eric Adams went with me in the Cherokee Six PA-32-300 also at Lunken.  These two planes belong to Flamingo Air, Inc.  Thanks to Eric who was on his way home when he got the call that I wanted to go fly.	#50 .N555HF KHUF-KHUF 10-02-09   Rented this Seminole, PA-44, at Terre Haute Air Center.  Special thanks to instructor Ryan Jones who donated his time to go with me.  Wish I could have given a ride in the CJ3 in return.

# 54 Cessna T210 N48VA 10-17-09 KUVA-KUVA  Mark Huffstutler, CEO of Sierra Industries saw one of the articles about this and invited me to Uvalde to fly some of his airplanes.  He was true to his word and this was the fisrt of the day.  Nice airplane, but things get more interesting fast!	# 55 Waco YMF-5 N723SR 10-17-09 KUVA-KUVA  A nicely rebuilt WACO flies nice and wasn't as "bllind" as I had assumed.  Fairly docile as well.	#56.Siai Marchetti 1019E N250MH 10-17-09 KUVA-KUVA  Another quick flight but a very interesting airplane.  Basically a beefed up L19 with a turbine engine.  What a fun airplane!
# 57 Sierra Super II, N552FJ 10-17-09 KUVA-KUVA  This is a Citation II modified with Williams 44J-3A engines.  Since I'm qualified on both the Citation 500 series and the CJ3 (stock with the Williams engines) I can tell you this mod makes a great airplane.  Essentially CJ3 performance at half the price.  Very nice.  Drop me a note if you're intersted in more information.  See the "SPONSORS" page for information on Sierra Industries.	# 58 P51, N3333E 10-17-09 KUVA-KUVA 0.5 WOW What else needs to be said?  The P51 has a sound, smell, and feel all it's own.  This is a beautiful airplane and I am honored that Mark took me on a fun flight and let me do enough to count it as one "flown" by me.  Only had stick and rudder in the back, but I did the takeoff and the landing just to touchdown, then he took it.  Nothing I could say could adequately thank him for the flight in this and the others, but, THANKS!!	# 59 Mooney Mite N4161 10-18-09 KGYI-KGYI  Friend Mike Plyler who also supplied #43 and #44 let me take the Mite around the pattern.  Fun litte airplane like most of his.  Mike is on a flying adventure even more ambitious than mine.  He's flying SOMETHING EVERY DAY.  So far he is over 1050 days in a row.  That takes some dedication! See info about Plyler Congtruction

#60 TaylorCraft L2 N47655 KGYI-KGYI 10-18-09 This is the one I was looking for!  Thank again to Mike Plyler (appropriately included in the picture) for his help reaching my goal!  Mike is obviously quite an aviation enthusiast and his company, Plyler Construction is included on my sponsors page

# 61`Enstrom Helicopter N221MP KGYI-KGYI 10-18-09  OK, I just couldn't stop at 60.  I'll fly as many more as I can before Nov 1, my birthday.  Mike Plyler again helped with this one.  Helped a lot with my attempts to fly it too!!	# 62 Grumman AA1-A N9472L 7TX4-52F-7TX4 10-20-09  This is one of my own that I finally got flying again.  Needed an annual and the brakes fixed.  Now I can use it with it's 160HP to get around in.  BTW, it's for sale!!!	#63.
