Another one bites the dust Queen

This music video is honor of Dirk's latest loss of his gas airplane this evening. Here also is a outline of the life of his gasser plane.

From the day he got the engine we have had some stress, like when he tried to cut off his fingers with his redneck setup! Thanks Brett you are partly to blame, J/K!

Here is with our friend and neighbor Brett Knight putting the plane together earlier this summer while camping at Franklin Basin. Good times, good times.

This is the only picture we have of the completed plane with its #1 fan, Jace. We must remember the fun we had.













Here is the plane after its tragic end this evening. Amazingly all of the electronics and the engine (which was found 150 feet from the plane) survived the crash. The men took their time to scour Bruce Godderidges field to find all of the parts. So it is just the body that we lay to rest, eventually.

Dirk is doing really good actually. He wants to replace his plane with a new one for Christmas. We will have to wait and see. And yes this happened right after we got off the phone with you guys, Melese.
