[MT-ALES] Euphoria #2 maiden flight - the rest of the story!

[Carl Thuesen]

Ford:

Thanks!  They are beautiful machines.  I’m looking forward to flying with you and hopefully Brad too this summer.  I’m glad you enjoyed the reading material.  Agreed, this is something special.  A great story of a true man of character.

In my previous story yesterday I forgot to relate perhaps the juiciest part of the maiden flight.  On the landing, the pilot (me!!!), spotted the nose right into a pile of cow exhaust still remaining from Scott’s winter pasture rental.  The spinner submarined under the chip, causing it to hump up over the nose, and there she stopped!  What a way to christen a new ship Carl.  Also note that the fuselage is white!!!!!  We all got a good laugh out of this one.  After a few swipes with a paper towel she was (almost) good as new.  ;^ ))

Carl.  Can’t wait to see the Euphoria2.   Just finished the aviation book you recommended recently on this chat room (Ready or not into the Wild Blue).  Very special.  Thanks!

At breakfast this morning Dick and I told Bob that Scott Edwards had a bucket of ice water in the hanger, and that we might have to dunk him in celebration, like the coaches get after winning a big game!  I noticed that Bob had an eye on the hanger and us all day.   Ha!  Happy Birthday Bob.  You’re the bomb!
