Thanks again Sparky.

Billy is a special person. He helped me with measurements of Steve Wooley's airplane years back. The Argus on the plans in the FM article was different from the airplane that was pictured. John Davis drew the plans to the airplane pictured but there were corrections necessary. With Bill's help I was able to build perhaps the only accurate reproduction of that famous airplane.

Thanks Bill.

And, as always thanks to my good friend Bob Hunt. Get your back straightened out buddy.

Sparky, I can't believe you convinced Billy to sit still for that long but I certainly appreciate it. Having Bob and Young Chris was just icing on the cake.
I enjoyed every minute of it and no matter where or when I have always payed very close attention when Billy is talking. He doesn't hide information it just comes out casually during small talk. "Back in the Day" I would make it a point to remember each statement he made so I could sound like I knew what I was doing just to get a few more details. I'm pretty sure he was aware of that but he never ever fed me anything to throw me off. It didn't always work but the information was always honest and good. Thanks Bill!

Very nice interview, Sparky.  Hey, get Les and Bill together.  

I was on one team with both of them.  They impressed me as seeming a lot looser than the uptight stunt team I expected.  Wow, that was 30 years ago.  

I, too, remember where I was when I heard about Elvis.

Thanks Sparky,  I got the wife mad enough she brought out the ears so I could listen.   And what better people than Billy one if my early heroes, but Bobby Hunt.  I've yet to meet Chris.  Keep up the good work. H^^

Fantastic, Great Interview. I met Billy last summer at the Nats and had the pleasure of singing with he and Bob one evening. Great fun and something I hope to do again.

I just finished Bill's interview.  Your interviews are the best things anyone has done on any forum I use!  And I like your tuned pipe Sparky.
