    Ski Doo 600r Etec starting issue

    Unlike Anything Else

    Thanks Gary. I have probably only missed a half-dozen or so years since it was moved to Wittman Field in 1970... a lot has changed since then. Even as a child, it was our 'Summer Vacation". If you anyone has even the slightest interest in aviation, AirVenture should be on your bucket list...
