Any of you guys know if this company is based in Jerome, Idaho?

I know that Mr. Muszala moved from CA to ID a few years ago; I drove by Jerome last night, and was wondering if he is based there.

If so, anyone with good contacts, with views to a possible visit : )


Saludos,


Tulio

Tulio,
You do get around. Where is home? I think I've seen you at Creve Coeur but I did not realize that the person I saw wondering around with all the camera gear was the "Tulio" from WIX. Next time you are headed through St. Louis, send me an email.

I think John is in Idaho Falls. He was considering the Tucson area when he was researching places to move the shop. He told me that Tucson had too many snakes and scorpions. Apparently even big guys like John are a little afraid of bugs and things that slither on ground. I imagine it's a bit chilly in Idaho right about now but I think it was in the mid 70s in Tucson yesterday. Maybe he should have been a bit more brave when he choose Idaho over Arizona. You can tell him I said that by the way. Not that he needs to hear it from you or I, his brother Bill started a shop at Avra Valley, near Tucson, AZ so I guess he a bit more intelligent and maybe a bit more brave when it comes to bugs and snakes. You can tell him I said that also. :)

Pacific Fighters is listed in the phone book, I just got his number a few weeks ago from directory assistance. Give him a call and tell him Albert Stix Jr. says hi and that I think he's a big wimp. Have fun. Albert Stix Jr.

Thank You, Al!

As a matter of fact, we have at least exchanged greetings in person a few times; last time I was seated at one of the tables outside the terminal building at Dauster, when you walked in after flying your Stearman.

I will make sure to say hello whenever I happen to make it to the St. Louis area (which by the way, is one of my favorite destinations in this here USA).

Saludos,


Tulio

Tulio,
Thanks, I do recall talking to you but it's been a while. I have been seeing your posts on WIX for a while, I just did not realize who was on the other end. Where is home for you? How do you manage to travel so much? Sounds like fun to me. Thanks, Albert

I live WNW some 40 miles from Houston, TX.

Whenever I have to travel, I would usually drive, so that I can stop and check airports, displays and museums.

Saludos,


Tulio

Tulio, John Lane's Airpower Unlimited is in Jerome. You should have stopped in as there are several projects in the hanger. His crew does some of the best work in the business. Don

Thank you, guys. I will make sure to stop by on my way back home.
