I stopped by my old Aeroclub at Tipton Airfield near Ft. Meade today to visit the old gang. I got my PPL here many years ago.  It was great to see some of the guys that were around while I flew there, but I was sad to see an old friend–the Cessna T-41 that I soloed in–sitting in a hangar after being parted out.  Apparently it was smacked hard in a vicious windstorm that hit the airport a couple of years back.  The tail assembly was banged up pretty good, to the point that the tail boom was misaligned so much that it was uneconomical to repair.

 Fairwell N7893N!
