Jimmy,

I do indeed know Dave Ragsdale. We've been friends for years. He called me the other night when he heard that my Hellcat had flown and wanted me to be sure and call him before the next flight.

Dave has some interesting projects underway, especially the big Brewster Buffalo, and I understand that he just acquired a B-17. I'm also well acquainted with the Ziroli Zero and Corsair that he flies because I built them both.

To elmshoot:

Forgot to mention in my reply above that the Hellcat is the dash 5.
