What a guy will do for a buddy's plane

[Mosquito]

So, I was looking through some pictures on my computer and I saw this picture that I almost forgot about. Kevin and I were aerotowing at my place a couple of years ago when he "landed" his ASW27 in a tree. This was the only way that I could get high enough to retrieve it! As a side note, it just so happened that my wife won a competition at work a week later with this photo (held at a local pub) with her female co-workers. The theme? Who would likely be the first to be a widow. She won the competition hands down.

The last time I saw a plane in a tree it wasn't nearly in that good of condition.

I wanted to KILL Tim that day seeing the ladder swaying in the wind...the engine was even running on the skid loader..."what could go wrong" with that scenario ??
Damn I would have felt guilty my whole life if he had gotten hurt that day...

Okay, Deputy Dawg... if your food tastes a little funny or you see some strange electrical heater wired into the shower then be careful!
