PLANE1

Getting ready for my first contest flight at Bartow, Florida, July 1995.
The plane is a CAP-10, N10MU, from Mudry Aviation. I took second in Basic.

PLANE2

This is my Skylane, N9214G, during a trip to Cedar Key, Florida.

STRAT

This is my new American Standard Fender Stratocaster.
I play it through my 1965 Fender Bassman with Nanoverb and Ibanez TS-7 effects boxes.
"Still rockin'!"
