Michigan contact

Well to add to my garage of toys I have gone out and purchased a Steen Skybolt.

Before you go searching the automotive catologues its an aircraft

I have chased up the build history and the construction plaque - as it is recorded under FSA rules - indicating that it was built by;

Gary Deem
2612 Elmwood Drive
Adrian
Michigan. USA

After having a look on Google maps and deciding his garden in far neater than mine I sent him a business card.



But knowing how small our world is I thought I would ask the obvious;

Do you know of him
Is he your Neighbourhood
Is he living close by you
Is he in your State phone book...

Sounds silly but you never know..

Anyway I would appreciate any leads..

And NO I don't have $4,000,000 in a Nigerian account that I'll share with him..

Cheers guys.

Thanks for any leads and comments.

Darn Bernie,

That is a sharp looking airplane. Just be careful when you start flying it.

Thanks Ron,

Long time since we have spoken.

A bit far to ask you to drop in and see him..

Hope all is good mate.

Bernie,

Yes it has been quite some time since we last spoke. I have been busy and also had some health problems but am doing as well as anyone my age can expect now.

How are you going to get the plane home? I would guess maybe by ship, but I have never had any experience in moving a plane across the ocean.

Ron,

Sorry I may not have covered that but it is already here - first registered in Australia about five years ago.

They break the wings down and pack into a container then our aircraft engineers put them back prior to inspection.

I know its a bit of a shot in the dark but you never know with these forums - someone knows someone who is at the golf club or air club etc.

Take care mate.

Ron,

On the pad at our local airport.

Bernie:

I grew up in Michigan, but a bit far away from Adrian, I'm afraid.

Hope all is well with you. Plane looks great - have fun flying!

Tnx Joe.

I posted over on the Michigan site.

I have also just sent a business card and short note to the address on the plaque. You never know..

I have asked a local in Michigan to check the phone book also. Again you never know..

[Ron61]

Bernie,

This is a great picture. I bet it is a ball to fly around in that plane. Enjoy and have a great time with it.
