Glenn has been working diligently on various aircraft projects for many years. He worked on a J3 Super Cub replica for quite awhile some years back, but finally let that project go after the kit manufacturer left the area. In December of 2008, he picked up a Bowers Fly Baby project. He is doing meticulous work on that project and intends to eventually complete it. In November of 2011, he bought the above Fly Baby. It is in great condition and ready to be flown. We are all happy to see Glenn finally get a nice and flyable aircraft. Also, he has been getting needed knee surgery recently, so he can now proceed in earnest on his flight training and eventually earn his sport pilot certificate. Incidentally, Glenn did a lot of work helping Don Bledsoe renovate Gaston Airport. Congratulations, Glenn!
