(continued…)

While I was pushing the plane back in its parking spot I noticed a little sound from the engine area… I pause to listen.  Nothing.  I continued to push and heard it again!  Wait a minute… no… No… NOOO!

Out comes a little bird.  I pulled the whole cowling off to expose another bird and a nest.  Great… Cancel the flight.  Everything was going perfect so far.

The Plan B… 8 hours of driving!  Not good.  Time to go shopping.  Going to pickup cowling plugs, and measure for the new cover.   No more delay.
