If the billtulsa currently viewing posts on this forum is the Bill i'm thinking he is. He was a world champion flyer back in the 70's?-80's?. My uncle who use to belong to the same club used to talk about him all the time. However, i don't know what type of contests he was a champion in. i assume him being on this site a pattern flyer contestant.
Maybe someone knows more than i do, but its cool to see a big name on this forum.

Right On...I think this is Kewl!!!

BTW...Lots-O-Kewl people hangin' out here...(Famous or Not!!)

Thanks...

Hmmmmmmm, thats certainly humbling, dont no how "famous" though. Who's your uncle I used to know?

Bill Cunningham

I think you helped me with my 1st solo flight around 1980. My uncle (Ron Halcomb) was an aeronautical engineer in those days with Rockwell and also was a Glue Dobbers member. I also think that some of his scratch built speed planes were flown by you. Too fast for his skills. I only hope to oneday have the skills and opportunity to fly those planes that still exist. Although the Kraft radio systems probably need to go.

Hi Bill...

I met and flew with you long ago on a couple of occations. You provided a lasting influence on some of my flying style.

Nice to have you on the board here....

Bill,

Did you ever come to Stillwater and fly with us a time or two? About 30 years or so ago?

Neil

Bill,
I was wondering why you copied Glenn Watson's paint scheme on your airplanes?.....hmmm?.....

Greg Grigsby

The paint scheme of any plane that i would take to Stillwater and fly would have to be crimson and cream colored.

Hi Bill:

I Remember shopping in your store when I was in town on business. I still have the Malibu that I got from you and had Bob Noll build. Do to things beyond my control it is still minus paint and covering but it's not an old pattern plane anymore it's a new BPA plane now.

Glad to see you back in the game.

Peace
