We would have to ask Jim Jones the exact date, but I believe that is about the age that Captain Chuck Downey stopped flying my wife’s plane N26487 “Fly Navy”. She and I are both in our early 60s and I pray that we can keep going as long and strong as you and the Captain did!
I would love to help you sell her to a good home. I won’t be back to AZ for a few weeks. Where is she hangared? Perhaps we could meet you there? Our place is a private strip just south of Sawtooth AZ04.We adore it.
If we are able to get together we can get some photos and post them on this site. THere’s a great new free site called taildraggers.com where we can post as well.
Here is my email address if you would like to send any pictures or information that you have now that we can post in the for sale section on this site. ashleybwade@msn.com
