Is it me...or does that boat look like it's missing 42% of itself?

John: the biplane will make Oshkosh but not this year. I'm recovering my Cub on floats.

Rich: I'd love to come to Clayton and ride in the Wing.

I just scanned a bunch of photos but can't get them to post so I sent them to work and will post early tomorrow.

If Kenny Kitson is looking in I'm sure he could give info on his record boat in UI. I remember going to Hi Perf to pick up some parts and saw this boat there. That was before AJ Nardi purchased it.

Just a Quinadance

John: you are on. It should be a similar ride as the Switzer has the same airfoil as the Cub.

Duwayne Timm and Frank Freeman

Seebold, Bill Travis (391), If I remember right Geoff Briggs was running the # 3 boat here not Tim, (138) Duey Berghauer, and (287) I can't remember his name but he was from Ohio.

This is Jim Merten's boat but I believe Boots Spellman is running it in this shot.

Doug Pearl and Harold Bateman in Miami

Another contact sheet of photo shoot in Oshkosh

Nice Lycoming but what is the Elgin in the background.

I guess the contact sheets are not to sharp. I will try and clean them up as I have about 30 sheets of various boats.
