T-34 Annual Complete; Aircraft back at Gillespie

Thanks for Justin's hard work and thoroughness he finished the T-34 Annual Inspection today (Sunday 4-18). He found that the compression was fine -- all cylinders in the 70s (it was allegedly low last year), he also found most of the spark plugs were only hand tight, no one had torqued or even tightened them last year); He fixed an oil leak on the pre-oiler, and fixed the CHT temp probe gauge issue; and blew out the R/L hand fuel tank vents as I was having a hard time starting on the left tank (maybe a plugged vent line?). The plane flew well, taking off into the perennial Flabob hurricane force winds. As I approached Temecula Gillespie was reporting 1800 OVC, so I landed at French Valley got out the IFR charts, a flash light and prepared for an instrument approach into Gillespie. SOCAL vectored me for the LOC-D approach and I never actually got into solid IFR and landed in the rain at Gillespie. T-34 is in the new (old CAF hangar) for the week getting ready for rides next Saturday.
