    Cherished Cherokee

    My Cherokee was on page 86 of the June Sport Aviation magazine. I have been reading Sport Aviation since the early 80's. It was so awsome to see my baby in a magazine that I have enjoyed all these years. Even better, the man that previously owned the airplane between 1973-1997 contacted me saying how thrilled he was that I restored the plane he loved. It has been so neat learning the history of my airplane in such a personal way. Thanks EAA for the article!!!

    Thanks Hal and Joe. I really enjoyed refurbishing that plane. I have always liked the Cozy experimental but knew I didn't have the spare time with my work schedule and family commitments to build one. This seemed like the next best option for me since I could fly while doing the refurb.
