Ztex, Not too sure who it is, but just judging by the wardrobe, it ain't Sarah Palin. Just in the face he looks a lot like Gov and security guy Tom Ridge of Penn. I never read that he was a pilot. Am I close, or is it just a coincidence?

And that looks like a busy engine compartment!

I thought it was Tom DeLay, the Hammer (I love that guy . . .)

Was Bob's friend with the homebuilt car there?

I'm curious what Mr. Diemert thought about The Defender documentary.

That would be top secret photos of the super Defender soon to replace the now out dated F-22 at a fraction of the cost :roll:

Gary, since it appears he is in Texas, maybe he is looking to restore another plane for the CAF............................

Well, as interesting as that would be, I think that I'll pass on allowing that opportunity. :-)

If you get to talk to him again, ask him about the rope tied to the elevator of the hurricane during the movie, used to stabilize the plane. I've heard Connie Edwards tell it.

Yeah, I'd like to hear his version of that story too. The way Connie tells it, it's hillarious.

His buddy's name was Chris Ball (yeah, yeah, I've seen the documentary waaaaay too many times). I've always wondered how the "Wedge" and Chris' version of the Defender were doing. I wonder if he was able to design a wing for it like they ended up doing with the "real" Defender.....which looked amazing like a Cessna 180/182 wing in the final result.

In all seriousness though, I've always wanted to meet Mr. Deimert. I reckon there are tons of good/interesting stories to be told by him.
