Someone keeps stealing, flying, fixing and returning this California man's plane. But why?
Someone has stolen Jason Hong's 1958 Cessna Skyhawk plane at least four times, taking the red single-engine plane for a joyride, and then returned it at airports in Southern California. Hong, and police, are baffled as to who, and why?

Some good tips on my mate Charles (M0OXO) website for those new to QSLing. A slowly dying piece of art that for some of us is a nice reminder of the contact made, especially when it is a new DXCC or IOTA.
