Congrats Laurie, that is a beautiful bird...I flew with XC triker in his Air Creation, that is one awesome bird...the passenger seat was very comfortable and by trike standards felt very spacious.- I always enjoyed that flight. Lake is spectacular and the Bird Museum was a must stop when they allowed landings. Sadly, Bird's heirs will no longer allow the public to land. My wife grew up across the street from Felts.
