Anyone know of this airplane?
When I tried to find what happened to the only airplane my father ever
bought new (his last airplane, a 1964 S-35 Bonanza), I used the tail number to search the FAA database. Once I had the owner's name, I used Yahoo to find his telephone number and called him. He supplied the serial number, which enabled me to get enough information from Beech on the paint scheme that my brothers and I could have a model made with the same paint scheme, and with "White Knuckle Airways" painted on the sides like Dad had on his. The current owner also copied the log books, so that when we presented Dad with the model on his birthday, he could see what had happened to his plane over the intervening years. That model with its log book copies was one of his favorite possessions until he died. You'll notice that I've expropriated Dad's "Airline" name. I have it on my flying cap, along with Dad's old Air Force wings. My partners won't let me paint it on our Archer. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) "soon to be student" wrote in message news:WEaEf.304015$tl.249541@pd7tw3no... This may sound like a silly question but: Some time ago my father passed away suddenly when I was a teenager and my mother sold his airplane. I don't know much about the transaction only that my fathers C182 left Canada and headed down to the States. Fast Forward 22 years and I happen to find a US aircraft registry search online so I decided to try and see if I could find the whearabouts of the old plane, Volia! I found out where it is and it's new registration number. Now without prying to much into the new owners privacy I was just wondering if anyone here is familiar with a C182 that is registered to a gentleman in Boise Idaho with "N" number N34BB. I have done a fair amount of searching online to see if I could find some pictures of the plane with no luck. I would love to find out if it still has the old colors or if it has been repainted, where it has been these last 20 or so years and/or if it has been modifed! Now like I said I don't intend to pry into anyones privacy or make an issue out of it, it's just that I have some very fond memories of my father and I going flying in this plane. My father owned the plane for many years and from the time I was old enough to walk he would take me up with him. Shortly before he died he put me in the left seat a few times and was teaching me how to fly, Doing circuits around Salmon Arm (CZAM). Those were some of the best days of my young years. Thanks in advance of any info you may have. |
