Thorp Air Command - T18.net

RE: ACCOLADES

I bought a T18 N # 583C from Cecil Hendricks last year. When I bought my T18, I contacted the Northwest Ambassador, Paul McMichaels.
We talked and he enthusiastically got me going on what to do as the plane had not flown in six years. The plane was in the local area of Olympia, Washington. Paul said another T18 owner-builder, Jerry Hoover would be helpful to talk to also. Both these gentlemen helped
me tremendously & guided me through the project, working late nights, weekends, and answering any questions I had, plus parts. After having the plane home for one year, Paul test flew the plane this year in June. We replaced a few more parts. This is a work in progress, and I could not have done this without the help of T18.net, and these two outstanding guys. I really appreciate all the time and help Paul & Jerry did for me on this project. I hope some day my plane will be up to standards of theirs. The T18 is a marvelous airplane. I have owned several airplanes, and this is a great one.

Thank you.

Nice post, Bill - there is a lot of credit to a lot of people on this forum I owe as well - Hopefully we'll see you in Visalia in two weeks - Tell Paul to bring some Irish Whiskey and that I called Visalia and their field IS open to Canadians.
