Vintagers Request

[Richard Flanders]

I have done some things with my airplane that are far too embarrassing to admit to and talk about in aviation educated company. Lake Hood is not large, but I couldn't tell you the acreage.

Trigg: I ALMOST caught a spruce grouse on the four wheeler today. I was right on his tail for about 100yds going 30mph down the mine road and came within 2' or so of being able to make a grab at him when he flared. Damn! That would have been a first with me. I chased one down the Minto cutoff road with my '69 Bronco once and clipped him with the right headlight and had fresh bird for dinner in duck camp that night but have never caught one by hand. Today was really close... Maybe tomorrow; I know where he lives now...
