We have moved on to "Turkey Mesa" but before we left we had a surprise for us. It was Wayne Fletcher and his partner Sandra Mueller, with their Luscombe 1947(ae) landing at our site, at our Bouse site.
What a surprise it was to us all at our "Happy Hour".
1933: (Donald A) Luscombe Airplane Co,
Kansas City MO. First plant was the old Butler Blackhawk facility. 1935: New
plant at Mercer County Airport, West Trenton NJ. Firm also did aircraft
maintenance and operated the Luscombe School of Aeronautics, with students
providing some of the production labour force. 1939: Don Luscombe edged out of
company after public stock sales resulted in financial control being taken over
by Leopold Klotz, who in turn was removed from management during WW2 because of
his Austrian citizenship and the firm vested by the Alien Property Custodian
Division of the Treasury Dept to manufacture components for Grumman Corp. 1944. (info from goggle)
We enjoyed Wayne showing us his aircraft. That was quite a show seeing that plane land in our field of motorhomes at Bouse.
Now we are at Turkey Mesa, with just a few of boondokers around. The birding has been A1 in Parker DesertDale has said.
Time to taks a walk. Kitfoxgal has been sitting on her butt to long.
