Nice story here.

Thank you^^

I used to fly one of these, nearly 30 years ago:

It still lives out in Southern California.

Ooo, that is a very. very nice little craft! I love it!

*smiles*

And with their popularity, I am absolutely certain Minty will meet a couple of them on other airfields or airshows she goes to with her Sundowner

Heh. Well, if she sees a yellow one with a white upper fuselage and red stripe down the sides, that's probably the former "Marcy-Lou"...

(I think this chap bought her from my father's estate ca. 1983 or so)

Aww! That's so sweet! I'll tell her to keep an eye out!

*giggles softly*

Unfortunately that second link doesn't work, I guess it's too long, or it may be because of the space in it

Cut and paste the whole thing into a new browser window. It's the little yellow one in the middle of the satellite shot. :)

Aha, thank you! I wonder why I keep forgetting a trick that simple...

*looks*

Aww, I have to say, even from that high up, she looks like a beaut! I envy you, Major^^

(grins) I may have an old snapshot or two around. If I dig 'em up, I'll post 'em.

*smiles*

Ohh, that would be really nice! If you can find them, I will be looking forward to seeing them!

now that was a beautiful little snapshot... I can hear the engine purring...

V.

Mmm, thank you, darling. I'm glad you enjoyed it

*giggles softly and winks*

And be honest... it's also a welcome break from all my car-nutty girls to have one going gooey over a little airplane, ain't it?

I was going to sayyyyyyy.... but then again you've also stepped into one of my loves (aviation)

*hugs her tight...

V.

*giggles softly and huggles the vixen back*

Oh, no worries, darling... I fully realize how much of a breath of fresh air this is, as i just can't help giving my characters a love for old cars, due to my own affiliation with them... and I am never shy to mock myself

*nuzzles*

I also admit i did not know aviation was a passion of yours... but I can certainly understand, and i think you will grow quite a liking for my sweet little green mousie here

It certainly is a pleasant surprise to find that Minty loves flying!

And yet another wonderful little story there, Zin!

*giggles softly*

Yes, like I mentioned to Vixyy... a breath of fresh air in more than one way! And as much as I love cars, I do like a large number of classic aeroplanes as well... and there is just something so special about the stories you can write on the subject

*giggles*

Although really... Minty should have been born a bat or something... that was she could have had it all

Beautifully written, although, air isn't my element. When talking about aviation and aircrafts, my first question is "is it the enemy" and if it is, "can we shoot it down". I've driven friends who have been into aviation mad by sending them pictures of various anti-air equipment.

Anyway, enjoyed reading this. Good work. Keep it up.

*chuckles softly*

Well, everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and things they have more feeling to than others, of course I myself, for instance, have the special liking for classic automobiles and elegant little aircraft... while at the same time, I hate to look at, for instance, a demolition derby. Such mindless destruction of perfectly good project cars... brrr

But of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and even if I may disagree with it, or if others may disagree with me, that doesn't mean someone else's opinion is a bad one. And I'm glad to know that even when I write on a subject not everyone is enthused about, my writing is still appreciated

*giggles and nodnods*

Yes indeed! That was what I was referring to; usually she flies with the help of her little plane!

*giggles again*

Hee hee, and well... her Sunny is pretty much the big love of her life, so you could say she's married to her little plane... so in a way, that is indeed her significant other
