And the prop finally turns!!!! I got great video of the plane in the air but couldn't do photo's at the same time so this will have to do. There was quite an audience to watch her take off.....Lance came back smiling. It's 10:30pm now and he's still out flying......All the hard work paid off. Now....paper work done and to Kotzebue next Monday~!!

Gassing up and getting ready to get in the air.....The grey square that you see about the tail numbers is a baggage compartment that Lance built into the plane. The door will be painted blue later to match the body.

Lance and Tim loaded the plane on Troy's tow truck and hauled it over to Ray's hangar in the pouring rain. This is when they were unloading.....

We came home from Palmer after a long 6 + hours of driving and about 6 hours of shopping with two fish and 20 baby chicks!!! The kids are so excited! Reid wants to give them everything he can think of....even a heavy metal tool of Lance's that he almost dropped on their heads. Amelia says they are all her job.... We have had them for a week and still have all 20 alive! They are living in the shop until they get more feathers and can be outside. They will be ready to butcher for meat in about 8 weeks!!! Chicken soup anyone???

Here's the GIRL!!! Lance told me before we married that there was another girl in his life....she has taken up alot of his time lately. But wow, is she beautiful!!! N9104D is looking good and will hopefully be in the air SOON! I am so proud of Lance for all the hours and energy he has spent on this airplane to continue our life style and business......The little wheels are only temporary and the big bush wheels will be on before he flies. Wings are coming soon.....

This is the engine.....Lance and Tim will do a test run on it the beginning of next week to break it in.....pray for no oil leaks!

Lance built this instrument panel from scratch....comletely brand new. the hours that have gone into this plane are phenomenal!

If Reid wasn't so handsome and sweet I would definately ship him to the grandparents! He is on the move and FAST from the time he wakes up until he goes to sleep....he never stops! I love Him so much!!!!

Amelia's hair is finally long enough for pony tails!!! She is going through a growth spurt and is eating us out of the house! I thought that would never happen!
