The mighty Pawnee. I have more time in the Pawnee than any other single type.

I have been flying with the Spokane Soaring Society while I have been building my Sonex. Soaring is a lot of fun and good experience. We just had our 2-33 destroyed by a bad wind storm.

John,
Sorry to hear about your 2-33. The Schweizers have your parts:

I worked with Kyle and Les at Schweizer. They are good people.

Bryan,
Thanks for the info. It is so badly damaged I don't think it will be worth it to try to repair it. The insurance adjust will be looking at it this week. It broke loos from the tie downs and cart wheeled and ended up side down.
