Jim operated safely for years out of the ultra tiny public use airfield (1659') and his plane was seen at many local airports on weekends. It's a darn shame.

Very sorry to hear that.
Jim's a great guy and I'm thankful he wasn't injured. He's a real L-Bird Guy.

Ohh, that's a pity. I've seen several shots of that bird here on the WIX from
you Nawthers over the past few years and enjoyed her unique Army colors. Glad no one was hurt...
