Former owner in photo above in 2006 was Chuck Speed

 

 

Proud new owner in photo above is Bill Bloedel on February 6, 2016. He flew

the airplane from Amarillo, TX to Winfield, KS (18KS) in 3 hours non-stop.

 

I am very pleased that this airplane is in the hands of a long time pilot who loves Tri-Champs as much as I do.

I had many years of flying enjoyment in it.
