Wanted: Old Tcraft photo scans for Tcraft reunion

[Ryan]

After talking to Forrest about plans for the Reunion and the 75th anniversary of the Taylorcraft arrival in Alliance, I was wondering if anybody has any old Tcraft pictures they wouldn't mind scanning and posting or emailing to me. Forrest has a wealth of factory photos, but I was looking for CPT, CAP, military use, 30s 40s, or 50s era photos. I know some have posted pictures of parents etc... with tcrafts before. Photos would be used for slide show projection at Barber Field during the Grassroots fly-in and tcraft celebration. Not for copying. Credit will be given for your photos. If you do not want to post you can email me direct:

tcraftpilot at gmail dot com

Any thoughts. Trying to build a photographic history of Taylorcraft especially with some of the events going on this year.

thanks

Ryan has complete command of this Movie theater thing for the fly-in. My brand new projector will be set up for useage.
Brian Matz ( Aeronca Aviators) was here today flying some other photo missions and showed me a lot on the computer...

Check this out: L-2 stuff I actually did it without going back and forth to my pictures. TODAY THIS COMPUTER; TOMORROW THE WORLD.

Thanks!

Forrest, I could have used those several years ago!!! Congratulations. By the way, you have a bunch of snow headed your way. We are getting sleet and freezing rain before the 8-12" they are predicting....

Ryan,

Thanks for doing this. I obtained a new scanner just for photos, let me see if I can get those looking a little better and a little straighter than what I did several years ago. I will get back with you...
