 Post subject: Happy Birthday N30WW
PostPosted: Wed Mar 05, 2014 5:36 am 
I woke up this morning and find that I must celebrate two birthdays today. I for one will celebrate my 69th anniversary of my 68th birthday and a total of 595680 total time on my airframe. Frase, figure that one out.
The second is N30WW, a S-18 Thorp that took flight today and has a total of 1286 hours. Deb and I went on our honeymoon in it the following July, then on to Oshkosh. Since that time we have made two trips to the west coast, San Diego and San Francisco, trips to Salt Lake, Durango, Las Vegas, Jackson Hole, three trips to New England, Oshkosh fifteen times, more time than I can remember to Kentucky Dam and a lot of other places in between. What a great time we have had in this great little plane.

Ahem....Bill, that only calculates out to 67.95346 years old....this considering your gross weight, the DA where you live and you lifestyle according to Debbie. I did not consider any medications, leap years, or ballet leaps.......but I think your celebration is early.

Happy B-Day!!

Congratulations, Bill! My mother's birthday is today also, so now I'll always remember yours too. You've got 4 years on me, but I feel like I'm catching up lately... hope you had a good one!
