Earl's field....

Yes, Earl use to be a dentist. I will message you his email address.

And it was the smoothest landing you ever saw. The trees were getting big in a hurry, but there was a clearing off to right, so I made a hard right turn and it handled like a Porsche and eventually came to a stop. Just replaced cylinder #5. The tempest fine wire spark plug broke and a piece of porcelain got between the piston and cylinder and messed all that up and broke a ring, so…. Tell your wife that a twin has twice the chance of an engine failure. Thx, Earl

I was suppose to be at the meeting in Austin yesterday, but was home with the flu. He did a great job of picking his spot instead of trying to stretch it to the runway. Not a scratch on the plane. It's a Mooney 231 BTW. Earl your take offs still equal your landings!
