Default Gone West... Bill Seed

On July 18, 1991, Bill and I attempted a 750K O&R from TPH to Wells, NV and return - he in his DG600 and I in my ASW-20B. The day overdeveloped and we ended up landing at Eureka on the way back.

I fully agreed with him on the possibilities of the great basin, having flown a 1000K triangle from IYK to Dayton Valley, Warm Springs and return the year before.

He certainly was a character and that clipped wing ASW-17 was cool!

Like Marc, met Bill at Tonopah in the 90s. What a character!
