  • 1946 T-Craft BC12 (N44233)

    My name is Joe Wiley. I now live in Blairsville, GA. In 1956, when my brother and I were 15 and 16 years old, we bought a 1946 T-Craft BC12 (N44233). It was the first plane we soloed. I went on to fly in the Army and then professionally for the next 50+ years. I recently located my airplane through Landings.com in Anchorage, AK. It is owned by someone named John W. Follette. Even though I have his address (4810 Klondike Ave.) , he apparently has no phone listed. I would like to talk to him and see if he would like some old history of the airplane and photographs we took in the late 1950s. I knew the original owner who was a lady who raced it in Powder Puff races. She lived in Ft. Pierce, Florida and we lived in Stuart, Florida. Any help would be appreciated.

    Joe,
    Thats cool. And sounds very interesting. Why don't you post those photos and stories on the forum? This is EXACTLY the kind of content we all love. And perhaps by doing so, you might get the attention of someone who could hook you up with John.

      Terry,

      Bob forwarded that information, I don't think Joe is on the forum. You would probably have to contact him and coach him on getting on here and posting the photos.
      Cheers,
      Marty
