Junkyard Wars: Airport edition
So yesterday the Legman called me up with plans for a study break. Why not run down to Griffin and pick up the cub with him, then we’d fly it home? Sounded great to me.
Atlanta was marginally VFR, but as we neared Griffin it turned to crap. I called the AWOS there and found the weather 200 overcast and 2 miles visibility. No good. We rode over to the boneyard off the end of the runway to see what we could find. After an hour’s search, Kelly had a beech hydraulic prop blade, and I had a boeing hubcap. Well, by the time we finished negotiating, I had three hubcaps.
Kelly and I have considered doing some art-type stuff kinda like the moto-art guys. We decided to start small.. And I beat him to the punch. This is the first bit of av-art we’ll be turning out from Flyboy Aviation.
They’d been stripped to bare metal and I found just a trace of color.. so I broke out the paints and went to work. I’m pretty happy.
Check it out!
