2 loads wanted for empty trailer!
Our EAA chapter has a buyer for an aircraft project (Bellanca Viking). The buyer wants the fuselage delivered to his shop in San Luis Obispo, CA, there will be an empty car hauler flatbed coming from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles. Your priceless junk, airplane...
Oh man, you have time in both... now I'm bright neon green jealous.
But on behalf of a lot of people - I absolutely command, decree, order, insist, and exclaim that you must continue with the Horten-based project. That needs to be brought to fruition!
