Re: [OM] IMG: After Dinner, at the Airport

Hi, Ken,

Thanks for looking and commenting.  I have always respected the Maule 
way of doing things, and the toughness of their products.
Our flying club also went through lights on Tripacers, particularly if 
they were used on grass.  I like the looks of the 172 light itself, but 
wondered how one would access it.  The frame seemed to be riveted in 
place.  Maybe these lights last the life of the aircraft. :-)
