Pierre Wildman

You should have seen the look on her face when
I replied, "I'm mounting the rudder pedals."

When asked to described himself, Pierre wrote: Major aviation nut. Just love airplanes. Flying 'em, building 'em, looking at 'em, reading about 'em. New ones, old ones, big ones, small ones. I am extremely lucky to be a partner in a Cessna 421C. I like to do other things like skiing (read: flying to Tahoe or Aspen), scuba diving (read: flying to Grand Cayman or the Bahamas), travelling (read: flying the North Atlantic or down to San Diego). I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area because it has a great climate, a good economy, lots of flying, and it's where my sweetheart lives. ("Hi Sweetie!"). I travel a lot for business (on airlines!) but this is a great place to come home to. Yes, I do have a "real job" (unlike Dan who flies for a living) in high-tech marketing in Silicon Valley. But I try not to let that get in the way of the airplanes.

...and here's the skin going on. Note the aluminum angles
along the trailing edge to keep things straight.
