Gary Austin passed away. Gary was Dir. of Maintenance for the CAF until earlier this year and was a BIG help in getting TEXAS RAIDERS back in the sky. Fair Tail Winds Friend.
Thanks. I had just checked the Gulf Coast Wing website and saw that she would be there. Flying, too, as the schedule says - I hope. See you there this weekend!
Congratulations on getting her airborne again!!! Miss seeing the old girl at the Houston show but can't wait to see her when she's there again. I bet she's beautiful now! Kudos to everyone for their hard work on this labor of love!

She sure will, barring any unforeseen developments.
As to her being beautiful... Yes she is, but she is un-painted on anumber of repairs.
