    Jes' gotta' brag a tad...

    I'm proud to announce that the Shell Oil/Doolittle Stinson Reliant (NC21104) now belongs to Tom and Jeff Ferraro and is based at our airport at Collin County Regional Airport in McKinney, TX.

    Tom and Jeff, the new owners of the 1938 Stinson SR-10 "Gullwing" Reliant, will be giving a presentation on the aircraft and it's history tonight at our monthly EAA Chapter 1246 meeting at the Collin County Community College in McKinney, TX at 7 PM. Directions: http://www.eaa1246.org/map.asp
    This rare and classic airplane is flying aviation history and is one of the best restored, most memorable airplanes in the world today. The Reliant that was built for Jimmy Doolittle and was his personal 'company plane' in the late 1930's. It was fully restored down to the last detail and has been a show-stopper at every event is has attended.

    Congratulations to Tom and Jeff!
