Just over a year ago, Jean-Marie Garric accomplished the first hops in his amazing Potez 63 replica.

But since then news has dried up. Do any WIXers hang out at Mid Valley? Have further flights taken place? Hopefully all is well with Mr. Garric. TIA

Jean told us he wouldn't be doing any further flying in it because of insurance issues.

Thanks for responding, Dave...a shame about no more flying.

Any idea on the Potez's future?

Nope, I guess a novelty exhibit at his hangar.

That is an outrage, and a travesty, and I'm now going to quietly cry myself to sleep.
