On the left is Art Zehner,a retired cop and on the right is Richard Entwhistle a retired Mechanic that had a business in Alaska. Both of these guys are becoming good flyers and are just plain fun to be around.

Delta Park in the fall. I have spent the best days of my life here. I flew here when the trees were very small. It now has a ball field thanks to a politician. Sometimes conflicks but usually pretty peaceful. Once in a while a ball will land on the field. the pavement was a welcome event. Good stuff has happened here.

  Hey Shultzie and Leo,
  You guys sure make it a lot of fun to read this forum.  Seems like just a couple of weeks ago I was teaching Leo how to turn on a computer.  Now he is every where.
  Just a note on Richard Entwhistles sun glasses.  There are 5 coats of rustolem black paint on the lenses.  He hasn't discovered that he can't see threw them yet and he still does some great flying.

Art just got back from Mexico where he has been hidding from us most of the bad weather. Not only did he bring his wife back but also the mexican flu, so he has not been at the field and we did some flying today. I guess it's that Mexican beer that he likes so well that gave him the flu. Anyway if he stays put we may all be flying togather. This is called the Art Richard leo stunt team. If you show up we will add your name to it. Maybe will even if you don't show up.

  Shultzie,
  Wouldn't you know it, the lady behind me on the plane was sick.  Planes are faster than walking but I think walking is a whole lot healthier.  Anyway all better tonight and picking Leo up tomorrow and heading for the park.
  I don't do margaretas as I heard the ice is bad.  Only cervases.
  Did you know Leo has a horse drawn computer?  Yup, he couldn't figure out how to plug in an electric one!

Leo and Art....
CUT A FEW HOLES IN THE SKY FOR ME N' DA "G"MAN TOMORROW....
at the Delta in the Dawn. 

Leo,
I gotta agree with you about the Artman and Richard, couple great guys to fly with, they really understand the joy of this hobby and have enhanced my enjoyment as well. Richard and Art both were there for support and help when I suffered the great begginer blues in Salem last fall. the ONLY problem is that Art for some reason thinks he is gonna beat me in Intermediate this year,, sigh, well I guess its the power of positive thinking right Art??? I s Richard moving up too? with you two flyin there I may just have to skip Inter and go right to Advanced so I have a chance,,,, Portland is right around the corner and I have almost two new weapons ready so I should be able to keep one alive for the contest. you three make a good group. to bad I am so faaaarrrrrr away, doesnt anybody stay in  one place,,,, hm to much karaoke, keep having lyrics pop into my head,, or maybe its the goofy from you three rubbin off,,,,,,
seriously, looking forward to flying with you this year, we need to do Joes place again!!!!

OK, this is the new kid on the stunt block. This is Doug Woods from Idaho falls who just retired. And has been flying at our field the last couple of weekends and we have been coaching him somewhat so better be on your toes. Anyway here is Art and Doug ploting bad things a Delta. Doug spent most of last week up in Gig Harbour where he has his sailboat.

70 degrees,, man thats but a fantasy, I saw mid 50 today for the first time in,, hmmmm (am I getting that old, I cant remember,,,must be horrible to be as old as you all  hehe) I was inside working on the 109, got the wing joined and making some headway,, just remember Art, pretty dont make it fly better,, my only saving grace is that you were gone not flying for two months,, supposed to be 60 tomorrow, a veritable heatwave,, I am supposed to work but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I feel the flu coming on maybe,,,,, ummm ,,,,
thanks for the comments bout my planes really!   Did you see the picts of my Qship? Joe calls it a purple chartruese martian butterfly or something like that,, anyhow, great to see somebody flying, heck even Pat J says hes going flying tomorrow in Boise,, Its not fair i tell ya its just not fair!!

Mark, you just got to be nice to us old guys. what goes aroun comes around an over the years this theary has proved itself. You should be getting good weather by now We sent it to you last week.hehe. Hey Don how about sendig me that picture of Ben and the judges to me on line. I tried to pick it up off the post but no luck.

Leo..
I sent about 3 other scans....hopefully one may fly???

Man, Mark with a camera. Scary thought. 

Hope to make it to Portland next month and see all you guys. Should be fun. Even Patrick it planning the excursion.

This is Art Zehners New Modified Twister Powered by a OS 40 FP. He calls it a twited Twister. It flys like it is on rails. Actually he has been flaunting this plane at the likes of Dave Miller and Mark Scarbourogh (probaly spelled wrong) Nice looking plane and most of all it makes Art Smile a lot.

Yhere was some talk of maybe whipping A_ _ some one who has this very odd name that starts with the letter S. Just trying to add fuel to the fire here.

Hey Art,
no matter the outcome, it will be a blast right? (that is as long as I go home with intact airplanes, that whole parts and peices deal is gettin old!!!!)
See you there,,

PS did you see the picts of the Oriental I posted? over in ARFs,, though its an ARC,,, small diff,,

Hey Leo, ,absolutly NO harm done, I assumed you were making fun,, most times I try to assume the best least offensive interpratation of something said,, that way I dont get hurt or offended,, I have been around you enough to gather that you like to stir the pot...... Art and I poke fun at each other about this since Salem last year,, its a friendly rivalry,,,

Hey Art,, I still think you forgot to wrap the leadouts in your new plane,, maybe you should check? No, the ones on the bellcrank

  Leo, you  ?  I don't think so.  Your more of a  ,  with a little  thrown in for good measure.  You just got to learn when we are having  with you!  Your going to be top dog in Eugene this weekend so keep a  face.
  One of your  ,  Art
