Lawrence "Larry" Maner is shown
below with his 1975 Cessna 150M aircraft on May 25th, 2008. After years of being known as a
"Challenger guy" and self-proclaimed "Kolb eater"
, he finally decided to make the switch to GA aircraft.
Congratulations Larry! She's a real beauty!
The "clipped wing" Challenger which Larry owned just prior to the Cessna 150 is shown below. He keeps all his planes polished to a high gloss ... as you can see in these photos!
Larry is shown below with his very first Challenger. In the left photo, he had just dropped in for a late afternoon visit at Whisper Field. In the right photo, he is shown after just having landed on a short, uphill and narrow country strip which has an approach over a pristine country pond ... pretty, but a bit tricky.
In his professional life, Larry
is a chief warrant officer in the US Army. He was deployed to Afghanistan back in 2006.
The photos below are of Larry in Kandahar (left) getting ready for convoy and with a Romanian soldier
(right).
Thanks Larry, for your service and devotion to your country.
