Years ago it was piloted by a friend and neighbor in northern Minnesota. It flew over our home so much that my kids knew it's sound. Thanks to Rayl finding this picture, I found it alive and well in Old Town,Maine. The fun is in the challange of creativit y Don C 17-Jan-16 22:54 Skyediamonds1985 19-Jan-16 21:40 Wow! Amazing how life turns around. Reminds me of a guy named Dennis Buen. While in the navy, he used to work as a mechanic on Grumman Albatrosses. Twenty years later while visiting the boneyard of Davis Monthan in Arizona, he came upon the exact same aircraft he used to work on. He went through the bureaucratic paperwork, bought the plane and now its hangared and flown regularly out of Carson City, Nevada. Kudos to Rayl who managed to track it down. Come to think of it, gotta ask him how he does it. Skyediamonds1985 19-Jan-16 21:50 By the way, are you in contact with your friend of the Beaver? Is he aware of your build? Would make for a wonderful story. Don C 20-Jan-16 10:34 Unfortunately Dan passed away a couple of years ago. He was one of those "larger than life" guys that you don't often meet. We still occasionally talk to his widow. They were sort of another set of parents for our youngest girl. When I tried Rayl's idea, it only took about an hour before I was talking to the folks in charge of it in Maine who actually remembered my neighbor picking it up an a state to state loan about 25 years ago. Now I have several pictures. Skyediamonds1985 24-Jan-16 17:36 Wonderful story Don. Thank you for sharing with us. Ironic that you should reveal that Dan passed away a few years back and this photo shows -of all things- his Beaver with a cemetery in the background. I'm sure there's no connection here, but sometimes a picture becomes prescience without the photographer's knowledge. Please sign in to comment on this image.
