Sven, not to be off topic but I was looking at ventura keys marina property. It used to be an airport. I scrolled around a bit and found your remarks about your family and connection to aviation and conejo airport, Your dad kept his staggerwing there. Then the pic with 4 beech18's there. The site of filming in a mad mad mad world! Then your a car man too. Very interesting. http://members.tripod.com/Airfields_fre ... tm#ventura

I met Bill a few weeks ago while in Manassas. He struck me as a very sharp and prepared individual. I think his next leg is to Guam. Then a non-stop leg from Guam to Orlando. Un-believable.

Twenty two hours and 15 minutes! I'm glad there are people like this in the world and I'm glad he made it! I think the only way I could do it is with a spinal block...

He kept it at the Rancho Conejo Airport and at Santa Paula. I think he bought it in 1961 and sold it in 1977. This is why we love BT!
