 |
| John, Lorin, Woody, and Doug discuss a key point at the General Meeting, held right after the Board Meeting. |
 |
| A confused, newly-elected President wonders why everyone's looking at him. |
 |
| The General Meeting of the Gaggle at Biplane Expo. A bigger tent is needed. |
 |
| This isn't the General Meeting, just the usual mob. It was always busy in the Hatzpitality Tent. |
 |
| Lorin runs up Snooty Hatz. The LOM engine sounded great! |
 |
| A profile of Snooty, showing her lines. |
 |
| The rear cockpit panel in Snooty Hatz. Note copper trim around the brass cluster panel. |
 |
| The rear baggage door on Snooty. This was beautifully made in wood, as was the entire turtledeck, and was solid. |
 |
| Tail detail of Snooty. |
 |
| Handhold, aileron, and aileron hinge detail. |
 |
| Another shot of the rear panel. |
 |
| Snooty taxis out. Note tall stance with that longer gear and longer nose. |
 |
| On the way to the grass. |
|
| Snooty rises! |
|
| "Okay, Lorin, here's the deal. I get your Hatz and you get my rookie plus a future draft pick." Bill Rusk opens negotiations. |
|
| Bill got a ride instead. |
