Good grief!

I was just thinking about the next steps in the reassembly of 28AAD, my French Weedhopper, and looking for reference at photographs that I took at the same stage when I was working on MYRO, my old Cyclone AX3, a Weedhooper by any other name. The photographs are dated May 2009.

This one actually, was dated the first week of June 2009

Amazing – nearly 7½ years ago. How time flies without you even really noticing it and how much has happened in that time. I wonder what the next 7 years have in store?

Incidentally, the actual seat bases, rudder pedal assembly, throttle lever assembly, cabin side tubes and the two long tubes rising up to the engine shown in the above pic are all being used in 28AAD, so there are strong links running between the two aircraft. 28AAD is being restored to life using parts transplanted from MYRO, its British cousin.
