A Boy and his Plane (Carter Alphonso)
« on: October 26, 2012, 12:36:51 PM »
I have just posted pictures of Carter Alphonso who was presented a beautiful Oriental Plane which was owned by Richard Oliver at the Baton Rouge contest.  I posted the pictures and a short write up about Carter on the first page of my website www.wingsonstrings.com.  Carter worked hard during the contest running scores and helping out in anyway he could.   He was thrilled to death when he was given the plane and as I understand it, even soloed that very same day with a little help from another pilot.  Congratulations Carter and we all hope you get many hours of enjoyment from flying that beautiful airplane.

If anyone knows how to get in touch with Carter or his mother, please let them know that I have posted a few of the pictures of Carter with his new prize on the website so he can see them.

Thank you

Mike Griffin

There are pictures of him and the plane on the post Mike made about the first day at Baton Rouge.   This is one way of growing CL and/or getting new people into it.
