Again a near strike out. The only thing I've got:
21. Cessna 182, I have flown them. Single mid line engine But then nearly all singles are mid line mounted, so maybe that's not what your looking for. It, the engine, is also piston driven, air cooled, with a variable pitch prop.
Twin magneto?

14..One more try--Silver Fox, with the Dodgers.

15..Yes it was Igor, composing when he wasn't needed as Dr. Frankenstein's assistant.

16..The Game Quartet whipped into shape.

17..Game has the helpful detail

18..James Braddock, SVC and Game know better than to diss him.

19..Some cops do ticket children operating lemonade stands without a license. Country Time is reimbursing kids' fines.

20..VAUC gives us one city. SVC is not content with just one. And haven't we noticed that SVC is just
plain discontent, sorta like Richard III.

21..And speaking of discontent, poor Dogged, who knows more than I ever will about the Cessna, can't come up
with the Lycoming engine. Now, he has invited me for a flight, but given his mood, he'd put me through endless barrel
rolls and peregrine falcon like plummets to the earth. I decline, at least until he pulls his average up.

22..It took awhile, but Pinot, the Sharp Dressed Man, pulls up his Velcro Fly and goes out on the town,
looking for Legs...or Tush…. or something.

23..Ed4 and Cajun. Big reminds us that, given Tony's longevity, he could have sung with Enrico Caruso too.

24..Pinot goes the distance and picks Sacramento.

25..To be exact the Supremes declared that you can't punish someone for not saluting the flag.

Well, I know Dogged didn't have any fun, but I sure hope the rest of you trailer trash did.
