Had a pretty cool weekend. Made our second attempt to land at Catalina. Cloud bank on the airport prevented us from stopping last time. Its getting late here on the Pacific coast so if your fighting off insomnia maybe my short clip will put you off to sleep.

I enjoyed that... nice, Eddie! Man, I wouldn't like to have to set it down over those sand dunes!

If worse comes to worst you can make your own. I’ve done it a couple of times. Take an old plug and “gut” it ... remove the electrodes and break off the porcelain, ream it out. Then weld on an air hose male quick coupler fitting. Sometimes works well to replace the gasket with an o-ring.
