We make the Lost in 50's Parade. a slight mishap.

Last Friday evening, after 13 moinths of hard work and preparation, we got old H-34 Charlie into our local old car parade.  Here she is in the parking lot of Sandpoint High School, awaiting her departure into the parade.  Here is a url to learn more about our "Lost in 50's" old car show held here in Sandpoint for the last 26 years.

A  BIG kudos to Carolyn Gleason who has been the mover and shaker putting this together every year.  If you are in the area, and are hungry we highly recco 2nd Ave Pizza for the best pizza in town.

Here is the old beastie in the Sandpoint A-1 Helicopter Company's hangar just prior to departure.  Note we have created a brand new, much stronger tow bar after our last slight mis-hap with the weaker tow-bar. .  Many thanks to Route 66 Auto Body which donated the welding labor to create this new tow bar from our steel.  BTW, for anybody in the area, Route 66 is a certified USAA repair Station.

Here is Charlie making the first turn after departing SZT, Sandpoint airport.  People always give us a wide berth, and many people stop and take pictures with their cell phones when we go by.  It is not every day you encounter an H-34 on city streets.We are having fun now!
