    And so, it began! Having landed at Le Bourget airport at the end of the first leg of the great race...

    Attachment 14121

    Our hero did what any normal, enterprising tourist would do...he hotwired and "borrowed" a Waco biplane sitting beside the runway, and went for a jaunt about town to see the wondrous sights...

    Attachment 14122

    The old, familiar sound of wind whistling through the wires of the biplane's wings awakened memories of the peerless aviator's days in the Great War...when he had stood proudly at attention while Kaiser Willy himself had pinned the Imperial Hohenzollern Medallion for Gross Incompetence Beyond The Realm of Possibility (tm) to his chest..

    ((complete with authentic WWI-era scenery...uh))

    Thanks, Paul...though it seems such a waste to leave a runway without a proper smoking crater...

    Just guessing...the passengers from Arkansas must be thrilled to see beautiful Rome from such an interesting perspective. (That is, those passengers who have put up with their pilot's flying for these many miles. Can't decide what to use those paper bags for--put over their heads to cover up their eyes or for something else...)

    Rough, turbulent weather, complete with thunderstorms, on the way to Brindisi...fortunately, the turbulence cleared on descent and the Kaiser's worst fighter pilot landed safely to continue his "illustrious" career of aerobatic mayhem...

    Attachment 15202

    As soon as the gooney bird of the distant Ozarks came to a lurching stop, von Wrecktoften staggered out of the pilot's seat, threw open the door to the passenger cabin and tossed a celebratory bottle of birthday vodka (that he had half-finished during his two-hour odyssey to Greece) into the lap of Ms. Winnie Cloud of Little Rock , who sat fidgeting nervously in seat 5A. According to witnesses, the unfortunate Arkansan promptly fainted...

    Hey Vw, I sure hope you checked all those Arkansan for their squirrel rifles!
