The last that I heard was that the plane belonged to a guy in Terrel and that the pilot may or may not have a license. It seems there's no proof that he's a legal pilot, but I guess they don't want to come out and say it right off.

Is this the same property that you dug the pond for a few years ago? With the dock?

Different property Eddie. I lease this property from my wifes cousin, who owns the airport. It is a smaller airport where small planes and a lot of vintage aircraft fly out of. It is like the 2nd oldest airport in Texas! My wifes uncle who started this airport had his license signed off on by Orville Wright and graduated in Charles Lindberg's class! (really!) I have the cattle on the land adjacent to the airport.

The property has a nice pond on it that always has fish ready to bite. This pond is about 1/2 acre but could easily be enlarged to several acres. It has a fairly consistent spring running through the property and tons of runoff.

I have been neutral on all this Green Sunfish stuff but must admit that when you catch a big GSF it is fun. They are also great to eat. I intend to remain neutral, however TOM G has a good point...he may be right. When they removed the pilot it is rumored that his left nipple was missing as were the cows teats. I understand that is a favorite target for GSF based on earlier posts I have read on this forum.
