New Fuselage Emblems

The new fuselage emblems are in the company store and they look very nice. Emblems for Tiger, Cheetah, Lynx, Trainer, TR2, and T-Cat are coming. Stay Tuned.

Wrench Bending

Luann and I are off tomorrow to attend the next wrench bending in Hawaii. Ken and Jan are coming along so that the Grummans in the islands can get some love too.

In June we have another Wrench and Elbow Bending along with some social time in Independence, Oregon this June.

Schedule Alert

For those who need Grumman advice, I will be mostly out of contact January 18 to February 9th or so.  Ken will be out of pocket (same pocket) January 20th to February 4 or 5.  FYI.
