Just saw this pop up on my Facebook feed from the NMNA; perhaps it might be worth your while to reach out to these families to offer a tour or flight in one of your Beech 18s, to help cement their connection to LTCOL Walters.

At any rate, it's a wonderful and touching story.

That is a good story. I wish I was closer to the families as I would gladly take them up on a flight in the Beech if they wanted to do so. Should they come to our neck of the woods I will give them a SF bay tour in the Beech. I wish I had a WWII Beech or one that was more appropriate but the C-45H will have to do.

Pete Quortrup's SNB-5 would be the best aircraft to take them up in as it is a lot nicer and closer in appearance to a standard WWII Beech than my C-45H. I understand he sold it and I wonder if the new owner might be near the families.



Thanks for the heads up,

Taigh

That Beech now belongs to James Martin, Odessa, Texas. If the family is near West Texas we can get them n the airplane.

BTW, James has been trying to get in touch with you for months....lots of twin Beech and other light twin questions. Check your emails.
