Thorp Air Command - T18.net

I recently joined the forum and learned a great deal by reading through the archived information and newsletters. Thanks for making that knowledge base available! A couple months ago I purchased Jeff Blanton's T-18. As some of you may know, Jeff and his dad did a great job putting their Thorp together. I had a lot of fun flying it home (KPAE) from Kansas back in February, and learned she will do exactly what you ask of her. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mr. Thorp for designing such a simple machine that's truly a joy to fly.

Should anyone be out in the Seattle area please let me know. I'd really like to meet up with some other Thorp enthusiasts.

Thanks,

Marshall

Marshall,
Welcome to the group. I have my aircraft at Crest Airpark (S36) in Kent and sometimes Scott Emory has his there other times it's at Kiona Airpark near Randle. Paul McMichaels keeps his at Tacoma Narrow (TIW) there's one at Renton but not on the list and several in the Olympia area. Look forward to meeting you.
