Vance recently pulled off another fast one. After searching high and low
for just the perfect Ercoupe, armed with electronic web access to Trade-a-Plane,
he stumbled across an ad for a Cherokee 180 (before it hit the print version of
the paper) at an unheard-of low price. After consultation and negotiation,
and a quick trip the bank, Vance and his partner for the purchase, Jim Wolak,
inked the deal.
To much later the plane finally arrived at Clow. All looked well. Except, that is, for those annoying metal filings in the oil pan. One rebuilt motor and a repainted cowling later (neither reflected in these pictures), Vance and Jim are now flying the hell out of their new plane. Yes, I think I phrased that correctly...
Enjoy it, guys!
Where To Now?
