This is great news Bill. I am so happy that you will be able to have the old girl repaired. I wish you all the best. Friends are only a mouse-click away.

Cheers,
Richard

Awesome news, Bill. I'm really happy that you'll continue to be TE308's caretaker, and wish you many more happy times in her after she's made right again.

:)

Bill,

Think of this as an opportunity to make the aircraft even better than it was before.

I look forward to updates.

Guys, I said we are planning to bring the plane back to QG. I am hopeful that it wii be repaired and flying again, but it is no small thing. I can't make any guarantees. It takes a lot more than just writing on WIX to bring it to reality. We will take it one step at a time.

Bill,
We've never met...... but I've seen your flying and Spit at GLS and other Texas airfields many times. Thanks for the smiles you and the Spit put
on our faces. Looking forward to receiving more smiles in the future.
Best Regards & Good Luck,
Russ
