Leon Strock is shown above with his very nice Corben Baby Ace. He was our chapter treasurer from 2004 through 2010. He recently repainted the plane red and silver ... as shown above. The left and right photos were taken at the Harold Evans Fly-in at Holly Hill, SC on May 11th, 2007. The center photo was taken at Dry Swamp Airport near Orangeburg in November, 2007.

    Leon has been flying airplanes much of his life. Everyone knows "Strock" ... his status in the flying community is legendary!  In addition to being a member of the TTF club, Leon participates in local EAA chapter 242; he is one of its original "pioneers". When Leon is around, you can bet that there will be plenty of airplane talk going on! He will also keep you entertained with his homespun humor

Here are photos of Leon with his plane ... in the original paint scheme.

    Leon gets into character above ... and in the proper mood. Now, who might this be? Leon "Von" Strock perhaps ... or maybe Leon "Waldo Pepper" Strock?!

Leon on takeoff ... tail wheel up and about to lift off.

Leon departs the runway.

    OK, Leon ... smile for the folks ... and give them a little "fly by".

Leon was the first member of our chapter to own a Baby Ace. Since that time, several other members have acquired Baby Aces. For more information on the Corben Baby Ace, click the icon below:
