  • N95598 closer to flying, Thanks to my Texas Taylorcraft Friends.

    Deep in the Heart of Texas, there are some really fine, deep-hearted T-craft Texans who made my day this past Saturday! Thanks to Mark Julicher, Doc Hecker, and Buell Powell, the mountain of discrepancies on N95598 have now been reduced to a small molehill of squawks. So, as soon as my TAX refund comes in, I will be looking for a good metal prop and I'll be back in business.

    Sometimes life circumstances tend to keep you from accomplishing some of the things you wish for. Somehow, Mark insightfully picked up on this in my regard. So he rallied the troops for this special effort and these great guys gave up their Saturday to lend me a hand to go through my airplane. I can't thank them enough. This has been needed for several years and I have just not had the time to get everything done on my own.

    Some of the photos are attached below. The last three were taken by Mark. We were especially proud of our floor jack.

    The results are clear... We had a great time, built some great memories, and best of all... solidified friendships that I know will last for a long time. There's nothing like having three guys who love Taylorcrafts pouring out their TLC all over your airplane. Mark, Doc, Buell.... you guys ROCK!

    Hi Terry,
    I knew when Mark invited me it would be a great day but sure didn't know it would be that great. Getting to work with you, Mark, and Doc on the Taylorcraft, seeing the Airfield @ airplanes--especially that grand old Curtis Robin, touring the old family ranch and the settler's cabin with that huge live oak, getting to meet your Mom-- Can't get any better than that. Thanks for having me out and to Mark and Doc for inviting me. If you come out to Devil's Backbone area sometime give me a call and I'll tell you how to get to my house and stop by.

      Hi Terry-
      Sorry I missed the work weekend. Turns out I had the past 2 weekends to work in Houston on a training aid project.
      Still at it as I speak.... Oh well, I hope there is another opportunity in the future.
