That sounds easy compared to my friend Skip who lands his restored Luscombe
on the mountain next to Mount Mohawk up in the NW corner of Connecticut.
The strip he flies out of makes the cow pasture I flew an Aronca Champ out

never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable
are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
