Loitering around hangars, checking out the latest projects, swapping stories (controller transgressions are especially popular), are a pilot's version of the post-game replay. Pilots like to tell tales and share information as well; so it is that people are making their way to Nick and Tom's hangar to see how the Clipper is coming along. It's a good excuse to take a break from the Poly-Brush.
Don Perricone talks to Tom while George Hernandez and Nick figure something out... |
Don Perricone has aviation and restoration experience, click on Don's name for a small piece of his story. George Hernandez, my partner in a Cessna 150 here at Marcellus, has a great aviation website that you're going to want to see; click on George's name for his blog "SOARCNY".
Student pilots with airplane restoration skills drop by too (this includes me, more or less); Bob Oxford, master painter (I recently saw some of his handiwork and it was flawless), stopped by to see Nick and the Clipper's progress.

Thanks for your comment. We figured anyone who stumbled across our blog was a fellow vintage aircraft buff, so we hope you've enjoyed our tales of triumph along with the woe. I'll pass along any questions you may have for Nick and Tom; maybe, just maybe they'll figure out an answer! Keep flying! Regards,
Kate
