I'm about to bring her back to the house from Sylacauga so I can turn wrenches every evening..... Hard to make progress when its not at home. "She" had her 70th birthday 9-27-17 and it was my hopes to have her back in the air for that but it didn't happen....


The tail draggers are what separate the men from the boys my Dad always said. I grew up on the weekends as an indentured servant with] Dad at the Brewton airport. I don't know how many planes we went thru top to bottom but, He had a 1947 Stinson that was probably one of my favorites. Another he had was a Air Coupe that was a lot of fun. We used to fly to all of my brothers football games when he played for Troy State. Sure miss the Old Guy, he was a hard charger. He taught me a lot of how to do things the right way. We went through a few planes that never even got to fly in, pissed me off how fast he would wheel and deal sometimes.
