Shaking out the cobwebs after a long winter. Newly overhauled mufflers and tailpipes, what a saga that was...
One day that tree off to the right is going to mysteriously fall down in the night...

That looks like a nice runway.

That is one of the nicest grass strips you'll find... drains instantly in heavy rain and gets rolled twice a year with a big-ass vibrating roller...
I've landed on worse asphalt...

Al,
Good to see it flying. Looked like a perfect (typical Stinson) landing.

I make no claims to exceptional landing capabilities... We just bought a Citabria GCAA and that is a whole different ball of wax...

Al,
I continue to repeat myself: A Stinson 108 is the best flying aircraft ever built and the best landing one too. I suspect the Citabria may have the later (maybe they all did) Whitman spring gear, but the old aeronca champs landed somewhat like the Stinson with their spring and oil gear.
