More from 1966

 I found some color pictures which I missed earlier.

Here is the plane ready to fly but with the cowl off.  The pictures are at Dalton Airport in July of 1966.  It looks like Ernie in the cockpit.

Looks good.

 These were taken at Bishop Airport before leaving for Rockford.

 This is Pete Bowers ready to make the first flight.

Taxiing out with N500F as the chase plane.

 Pete followed by N500F making a fly by.

These pictures were taken from N500F.

In the lower one Pete is flying hands off (hands raised).

 Pete taxiing back in after the first flight.

Congratulations and smiles all around, Pete, Ernie and; Dennis.

 After returning from the fly-in neither Ernie nor Dennis had their license so some fellow Chapter 77 members got to fly it for the rest of 1966 to help fly off the restrictions.  Thanks to Dwayne Trovillion and Ray Shelby.
