Our Fly Baby will be 50 years old this summer. We finished it in July of 1966 and because we could not get an FAA inspection done in time to test fly it we trailered it to the Rockford EAA fly-in. Pete Bowers (the designer) was there and we parked next to him. He liked it and saw no reason not to fly it. He talked with EAA and the FAA and all agreed it could be don. The FAA did the inspection and at the end of the evening airshow Pete taxied out and text flew it without the crowd any the wiser.
I've decided to focus on getting it back in the air and flying it up to Michigan for my Dad to see it back in the sky after setting in my shop for too many years.
If I get anything done on the Cessna I'll post it but don't expect much until fall. You're always welcome to read my Fly Baby Blog.
