Here are some pics of 11D. The early pics are scanned from photos, before I owned a digital camera. I bought 11D in 1996, in pieces. Didn't work on it for a few years after. I flew it for the first time 6-1-06, have a little over 4 hrs on it now. Good to be back it the air. Its not the destination its the journey!!!!!!!!!

Way-to-go Greg. I know you're proud of you accomplishment and if a nut falls off you will know where it came from.

Looks good.

Are those the future pilots with you in the parking lot?
Also wondering which instrument panel you have installed? Brian

Half of the future pilots and all of the instrument panel were owner produced.

I had a '55 Ford F-150 to go with my '55 170B, but for some reason, I never got a photo of them together. (I think the problem was that I very rarely ever had them both road/air worthy at the same time.

) When I transferred from Tennessee to Mississippi in 1990, the Ford wasn't running, and my company wouldn't move it, so I donated it to a local high school for their auto mechanics class.

I kick myself again and again whenever I think of the very original '51 Ford 3/4 ton truck I sold for $150 because my brother wanted to borrow money for a down payment on "Horizon Properties" development property. You can still see those street-grids laid out by bulldozers across the desert 20 miles east of El Paso.
