WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE BUILDING
cross-country fl ight. We plan to go to Prescott,
Arizona, then to Winnemucca, Nevada, to visit
our brothers. We feel it will be a great adven-
ture, taking one to two months.
In closing, the N-numbers for my aircraft—
N5970C and N5970H—have some signifi cance.
I graduated from high school in 1959, was 70
years old when Airplane No. 1 was completed,
and "C" is my initial; 59 was my sweetheart's
age when I started Airplane No. 2, 1970 was
when she graduated from high school, and
"H" is her initial.
I need to express lots of thanks for help
during these projects: for the patience of my
sweetheart during all of this airplane building;
to Zenith Aircraft Company for answering
all of my questions during the builds; to
EAA for its help with an issue with FAA dur-
ing the inspections; and to my fl ight instructor
and a host of others who helped to get all of
this done.
