Default RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE

When I was a kid back in the late 60's, I remember going to the large pattern meet with my Dad (I was his caller) that was held at Wright Patterson AFB. I remember going twice from Connecticut. One of the highlights was meeting some of the "big names" that normally didn't make it to the east coast, one of those that I remember meeting was Jimmy Grier. To this day I do remember my Dad and I talking to him and the color scheme of his model always stuck with me.

BTW - my Dad flew a Hartman Zeus with a ST.56. I wish I had some pictures of the plane. Those are some good memories.
