Chuck (the dog) say’s:” No way – look folks, Allen did a “self” check-out in this bird – and NO tail-wheel time! I’m staying on the ground; and Allen, and you too Noreen, can stop bribing me with Purina Dog Chow”!
I wish we could bribe him with Purina Dog Chow! Chuck has a very refined palette, and prefers to be hand-fed honey smoked ham. He doesn’t get it, but that’s what he prefers.
This picture of the day makes me so proud. CHUCK LOVES going on flights and he is able to run around freely because no one else is there! I’ve got such a great husband (Allen).
And yes we had to match the two together so if one changes well have to change the other (new dog/newish-old plane).
So it’s true: Dog is my co-pilot! Thank you for sharing, Allen and Chuck.
A beautiful 170B. I wish I had not sold mine so many years ago. I should have kept it and sold my house. Cordially, Dave Wilson
What a beautiful day. Hey Chuck matches the 170B’s color scheme (or the other way around). LOL
They do match, I don’t know why I never noticed that before. We got the plane first, so I guess Chuck matches the plane!
