hamfists nz Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Apparently he told his family that he had an appointment with a spacecraft and was leaving to live with aliens and was never seen again. In reality his truck was found on the side of a mountain and had human remains inside..it had been blown up in a remote location. It appears that whoever was in it had committed suicide. His P40 was purchased from his estate (off of his parents) and had parts of a Blenheim fuselage and an epenage from a Harvard (t-6 Texan)..but was properly restored to flying condition as N7205A..”old exterminator” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
