Guys, I received a call the other night from long time, early on Thorpie (I prefer "T-18'er"), Parker Miller here in Houston. He's trying to track down a rather unique T-18 for a friend of his. Here are the details as of about 20 years ago .. Builder: Bob Moore Location: Slidel, Louisiana Aircraft is highly modified with a conventional retract gear, 250 HP Franklin with a CS prop. There were a few other details such as the location of the main spar had been moved forward etc ... Parker was pretty sure it had not flown (which sounds like a good thing!). If anyone has heard of or has a clue to what happened to it, please let me know. FYI, I consider myself to have a pretty good database in my head T-18's past and present ... this one has me stumped. |

Thanks Nicky! That looks like the one .. last action was 2007. I'll see if I can track down the current owner. |
