Colonel you love being upside down but that is my rush, landing places where least expected. I surprised many people between Brampton and Pembroke arriving in "back yards" :lol: -- cool stuff

Dropping in for some coffee and cheese. (I'm in Wisconsin, don't forget)

Richard Bach would love it!

I think I saw your state motto on the WI licence plates: "Eat Cheese Or Die"

My least believable story had me landing at a farm to drop off a big bowl of chilli. I pulled right up to the guy’s front porch with the Moth.

Mine was landing behind a gas station after finding Lindsay airport locked up - Walked up to the pumps and asked if I could get some gas and the guy asked if I needed a ride to my car and I said no, I'm parked behind your station -- haha - the reaction was priceless. Took enough gas to get me to Bancroft after making sure they had fuel (pay phone at the service station-no mobile phones in those days --).
