Outstanding Highlanders at NW EAA Fly-in
Saw Steve's and Gary's outstanding Highlanders at the EAA Fly-in yesterday. Both very well done. I think some others are supposed to show up too.
As usual, I had a good excuse why my "lie generating machine" was not in the air yet...

Arlington Wa Airshow and another Champion!!!
Just finished up with the Arlington Air Show and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO GARY WEAVER for winning Reserve Grand Champion with his Highlander There has been three Highlander Grand Champions at the Arlington Airshow since 2006 NOT BAD!!! How many kit planes can say that!!! Not only that we had SIX Highlanders at the event which also has to be a record , Ted Sutton's trike gear from AZ, Toby's 'Gettin High Legally" from Oregon, Andy Bell (2006 Grand Champion) from CA, Gary Weaver, Kevin Corlis and myself from WA. Gary and I manned a booth at the show for Just Aircraft and it is unbelievable the attention this airplane gets! We hardly had time to do anything else but talk Highlanders with people, actually not a bad thing . I posted a few pictures of the show at this site: http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare ... =comcast2/

Highlander
Thanks Dave and Steve. I didn't build it for show,,, I just wanted it to look nice. I forgot to tell everyone, at the show an FAA guy wanted to give a check ride to a another instructor and he asked if he could use my plane. When they got back he was all smiles!! He really like the plane and had nothing but good things to say about the Highlander. He was looking at buying a kit himself.
Unfortunately, two days ago while giving a check ride in a Zenith 701 on floats in Anchroage, Alaska, they crashed on take off for unknown reasons at this time and both were killed. Very sorry to break this news.

Thanks Lynn,
I am really going to try to make it. It's harvest time right now so I'm really busy,,, I'm going to try and get away for a few days. That would be a lot of fun.
