They just got things tied down as the non-forecast wind
approachs, and everyone is double checking
everything. |

I just missed what it said a moment ago when I started to
take the picture. It had said 30G50! Regardless, you can
see the Gust to 50 knots (55 mph), it is really blowing
out there. |

Wow! The entire right side is nothing but open doors.
Easy to get in and out. But it is still rather small

Hmm... Something looks really strange here around the tow
hook. Isn't something missing here? |

Ah, yes, a tailwheel. It should look like this one. |

The Maule was meant to have wheels like this. |

What are those funny bumps on the bottom? The Direction
Finding gear for seach & rescue is the ugly round
thing hanging down between the main wheels. |
