Thanks Mike. An old article you wrote on the Husky pushed me over the edge.

Love that photo. Mine hasn’t been that shiny since ... as long as I’ve owned it. I feel guilty of Husky neglect.

Kent welcome to the group. It is a great to have you. Your Husky is beautiful.

Kurt great job of recruiting. Obviously you’re a great brother.

Thanks Jim,

I endured an almost weekly talk about how wonderful the Husky is. I've been to time share presentations that were less pressure!

Where did you find such a long selfy stick for that photo? I wasn’t able to find it on Amazon!

Good one Dave!

Who took the photo? You have a lot of good SuperCub calendar photos!

My wife took the photo. She has some fantastic pictures! We may make a calendar for next year.

Kurt - you are not providing enough information. Was your wife flying in her Husky? Must be nice to have so many Husky’s in the family. You can take parts from your brothers Husky if something breaks on yours!

 

[Ak Kurt]

She was in FW Daves Husky taking pics of us. We only have one Husky, I sure wish she had her own Husky!

Ak Kurt's wife is a Fantastic Photographer!.. you should see some of the shots.. amazing.. She shoots through the open window, and is very specific. We got several money shots in that setting above in less than an hour.. Hundreds of shots to look at.. tons of fun. A husky calendar sounds awesome.

Kurt and I and FW Dave just finished a huge annual and multiple upgrades to CW. What a great day chasing my brother around Michigan. Can’t wait to bring it home to NY.

My new Husky!

Background

So Kurt has been on me to get a Husky since 2003. I’ve been keeping track of all the listings and fell in love with many of them. I figured I might be able to swing an A1-A or even a Pup.

Well I just couldn’t pass up this amazing airplane offered by Louis in Florida. Here’s the funny part: it’s nearly a perfect match of Kurt’s Husky. Total coincidence.

So the Wien brothers will hopefully make it to Root Ranch this year in matching airplanes.

Last time something like this happened was in 1974 when my mom dressed us up in matching sweaters for a function in Anchorage. Older brother Kurt was furious, and later horrified to see the picture of our family on the front page of the newspaper with me smiling and him steaming.

I think he’s happier today.

I’ve enjoyed catching up on the posts here and look forward to learning more about the Husky along the way. Thanks in advance.

Great story Kurt and Kent. Never saw this before.

 

[Kent Wien]

Thanks Mark. Who knew this bird would lead to so much fun.

Yep, Kurt was right. I “needed” a Husky.

 

[Ak Kurt]

Mark, you should have never called me, now you are inflicted with the Husky bug
