In article , David O says...
The FAA database shows the owner's name as Tom Wright. After I
published the pages last year, someone noted that the paint scheme on
the Bellanca is very similar to the one on the P-40 at the Kalamazoo
Air Zoo in Michigan.
Yeah, Tom Wright. He told me he actually asked for permission to paint
the plane like their P-40... think the actual owner is a woman (of the
P-40, I mean).
Ron Wanttaja then remarked, "I actually talked to the owner [of the
Bellanca] there. His intent was just to have something different.
Kinda like the Cessna 140 I saw years ago with an FW-190 paint job."
Tom is a heck of a guy. He had all the usual resto photos on his Bellanca.
I could have stayed and talked to him for hours, but there's always
someone else... some other plane, some other story.
Your news software should have an
option to limit the lines you compose to 70 characters.
I am posting through a ****ty web interface, and it doesn't give me any
options. Time to hunt up a real news reader again. Thanks. I
tried chopping this one by hand. (*^#$^) technology.
cheers
