Mine will turn 61 on the 16th! I bought a birthday present for her...a hand held ooga horn. Perfect for hanging out the window and honking at people!

I have two data plates from two Bc12D Tcraft.

9219 is the Tcraft that I restored as an Experimental and the data plate shows a MFD date as 7-29-46 .

9230 is a Tcraft that I bought and parted out in pieces afew of which I used in my own project. It was destroyed in a wind storm then currently on floats.
Date MFD was 07-30-46 ?

Could they really put out 11 aircraft insid of two days?

Well yahhhh ! The Taylorcraft factory with two lines inside a 100 ft clear span building did 30-34 per day with two shifts building and the midnight shift doing machinery repair and set up for the next day. have you ever been here to Alliance? We had four members stop by last week alone! They are given a look at the building, load up their parts and way they go.

This may be the year to visit Alliance. If I can get the repairs done early I may just fly down. Is there a lake near by that I could use ?

Very impressive that they could put out thirty plus T's in a day, I thought for
sure when i posed the question that the answer would have been that it was
likely a mistake.

O.K., now I will go to the foundation site and sign up. I've always meant to
but never seemed to find the time.

Bless you my Experimentail friend!! Be careful out there , you are test pilot each time you fly~! Yes we could handle straight floats here with a bit of prior arrangement. I have a cove across from the airport and two others that want to try it sometime. Join UP! and keep in touch. Heh Bob we got another one!!

The deed is done, I sent the money and address via paypal . Thanks for the
reminder, I probably would have forgotten again.

Looks like Alliance is 2500 miles to the SW of my position . Thats some 30 plus
hours of flying one way in my T on floats .

Have you a date for the Alliance meet yet?

Hey Robert it's only right that you visit here. Remember that I spent a fair amount of time in your province (in Argentia 1962-1964). Besides there are a lot more Taylorcrafts here than there Dick
