When I heard "Jose somebody with an L-19" in regards to the "German" Piet, alittle light clicked on and I checked with one of my old email buddies...Jose Cano, from the Int'l Bird Dog Assoc. Sure 'nuff, it was him. Here'swhat he said... anyone looking for an L-19? (probably about my 3rd faveplane, behind the OV-10 and Piet...)-MikeMike Whaley merlin@ov-10bronco.netWebmaster, OV-10 Bronco Associationhttp://www.ov-10bronco.net/http://www.ov-10bro ... ------10:4 Mike, that was me but I never flew it. Tim Talley from Clifton Aerodid the testflight after we fixed one of the wings and reassembled the whole plane. Irigged theailerons and installed the Jenny wheels on it. The airplane was sold to theTX Air Museumand I helped Ken Brown disassemble it and load it on a trailer. I was bythe museum earlypart of last year and they still have it and fly it occasionally.My L-19 project has come to a screeching halt due to work loads and jobchanges. I thinkI am going to sell it this winter. I have had a few people inquire about itbut you knowthe old story "I have to sell my other airplane first.". I have notadvertised it becauseI keep thinking I will have time to do a few more things on it before Iadvertise it. Asof the last 7 days, there have been two more Birddogs go down due to piloterror, thismakes mine keep going up in value because there are fewer and fewer of themaround. Letme know if any of your folks are interested.I check your OV-10 website periodically to check on the progress of yourmuseum. Lookslike you all are doing good things. Some of the IBDA folks may becontacting you allabout a joint project. Due to my work load, I am no longer on the board ofdirectors butdue continue to put in my two cents worth.Hope you have a good new year ahead.Jose' C.
