Addio, Falco

摘要

In 1984, my wife's Christmas present to me was permission to build an airplane. In April of 1991,1 flew that airplane for the first time. In July 1999, I flew it for the last time. My Falco was part of the family for 15 years, first in pieces scattered throughout the cellar, barn, kitchen, and even living room—where the engine took up residence as aluminum sculpture for six months—and, finally, as an intact vehicle.
