2. Public day in Stendal 2005
what happend the last three weeks?? Well, first of all the interior is gutted except of the kitchen and the credenza, but that will happen next weekend. The bathroom is completly gutted and the interior walls a loosend but still in place.
We couldn´t gut the complete trailer, as there was a public day on the Airfield in Stendal on the 19th of june. Steffi, my mom and several other Aeroclub members sold coffee, cake, pies and tartes in front of Dave and the used him for storing stuff and cooking coffee inside.
Dave was one of the top eyecatcher that day. Although he is not that shiny anymore (who is after 35 years??) people were really dazzeled by him sitting in the sun infront of the Tower.
The public day was not like the Stendal Airshow, which is held every two years, but some planes did come such as one of the Airforce Transalls, the Boeing Stearman Group, the Antonov An-2 and a JAG. Nearly 10.000 people were attrcted by the free-entrance and the sunny weather and the chance to do some passenger flights with the JAG, An-2, several Cessnas or with a ASK-13 glider. The Airshow will be next year again and we hope that we have Dave completed then,lets see...
The week before the Prachuters from Stendal hired one of famous Pinks, which came to Stendal for three days. The Pink can carry 25 Parachuters at a time and the guys had great fun going up and down.
What I just can´t understand is - why jump out of an airplane that is in perfect order??? Sick isn´t it... :-)
