One of the neat things about Oxnard airport (and presumably Camarillo) is that you often get treated to flybys of things like this restored B-25. \u00a0Weird stuff passes by outside my hangar just about every day, and I love it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 19 hours.

\n<\/a>Today was about the prop. \u00a0 \u00a0I tried to get it done yesterday, but there was a flight, a barbecue, and the need to get home for evening plans, so I wound up doing it today. \u00a0 Today was not all that wonderful. \u00a0There was an accident at the airport and I don’t have any details, and won’t publish them here until more is known, but it appears that we’ve lost a really good guy and a wealth of knowledge of experimental aviation and RV’s in particular. \u00a0 Yesterday he lent me a torque wrench so I could torque the prop bolts, which I did today, along with the spinnner.<\/p>\n
