Dawn, as usual you are exactly on target. Those are precisely the reasons I discussed with Jim for posting some pictures. When I dropped the plane off in Tulsa for his friend Rob to pick up, unbeknownst to him I was watching on the Tulsa airport's live webcam as he got into the plane, taxied, and took off--then I followed him by FlightAware as long as I could. These are the first pictures I have seen of N115CE in Vermont since then. It's very difficult to be grounded for the second summer in a row--last year it was the crankshaft AD, which resulted in a two month gap while the engine was totally redone. That time I had no pictures. (Incidentally, anyone who gets my IO-540 is getting an engine that was almost fully overhauled; except that the cylinders were re-honed rather than replaced, it is pretty much back to mint condition).

Hoping and expecting that the time, trouble, anxiety and cost will all be worth it.
