There was no wind, the sky was clear and the TCraft was crying to be in the air so I took her for a short flight last night.  Having removed all the dent from my wingtip I was excited to see if my repairs had fixed a slight tendency to turn left and was happy that it had.  Now a few years ago there was a big fight over putting a casino in Sedgwick county and the nay sayers won. So the neighboring county passed a bill to put one on the county line, so about 12 miles from Wichita.  I had heard some comments on maybe putting a landing strip there and was flying from Selby to the Casino now under construction to see if a landing might be possible when I saw these troops sneaking up on the construction site.  Now of course the sun was somewhat in my eyes as I came across the ridge and they looked like Huns to me so I gave them a taste of freedom to spend my money where I want round of bullets and Huns don't stop a good man from having fun bombs.  They scattered like roaches to a light running for the hills shaking their fists at me.  That was when I recognized them as Fred Phellips  anti american anti soldiers and anti flying church goers. So I shot them again.  Flying back to Selby I fell in with a Selby Quicksilver and we landed in somewhat of a pattern type sort of with 2 planes that don't fly near the same speed deal.  Flying was great, the casino is safe and I need more bullets.

Avenger, so glad you are protecting our south - 40.  We  need  good men like you, give that man more bullets---he already has his own home-made "bombs". Now if we  could just  keep him  from setting  them off  in the hangar!

Ok fine so I was working on a tracer bomb so that we could see it go down as it dropped.  It seemed like a good idea to use the smoke system you have to send out a smoke trail and ok so the idea of a propane torch to supply the heat may not have been the best idea and of course as we now know a plastic container for the oil could have been thought thru better.... but you have to admit..... we did have smoke..... and there was a boooooommmmm..... course your idea of putting a hole in the flour sack was pretty simple, it didn't put out near the trail.. but where was the fun.......lol
