New plane day! Gordan Delaney's Warburton Tony, circa 1970

I am (once again,) the very fortunate recipient of Gordan's generosity.  
He called me up and asked if I would like a plane. ...uh, Heck Yeah!  

This is his Warburton Tony that he built and competed with in 1970.  The plane is 8 years older than I am!  
It is a testament to the quality of his building talent as it still looks very nice today, even after a several thousand flights and 45 years.  
We spent a fun afternoon fitting a fresh OS 35-S, flushing out the tank, and getting it ready to rock once again.  

Check out his new 64"/ 743" plane with the 54"/ 570" classic.

It's humbling and flattering to receive such a nice gift.  I hope to have it back in the air soon and to be a good steward of this fine ship.

What a great friend, eh!  I think so!

In 1944 18-20 year old's stormed beaches, and parachuted behind enemy lines to almost certain death.  In 2015 18-20 year old's need safe zones so people don't hurt their feelings.
