Springtime in Remington, VA

Some pics of Don's ancient Theoradical now converted to electric power with rudder only. What a floater.

	"These are pics of Don's beautiful 1936 Waco cabin--he put a new motor in it and it has plenty of power now. Such a pretty plane on a bright sunny day"
	Don's WACO parked with Pat's Monocoupe
	"Also a couple of pics of a Canadian goose going like hell and a couple of an RV-4 parked at Culpeper field."
