Based on the "Large Marge" reference I was able to come up with this history for the airframe...

If anyone can add any details to the airframe history, please feel free to use the editor...

Of if you have a photo you can upload, please consider doing so...

Rough last two weeks. I suppose getting older and having children changes your outlook on things, accidents while never easy to swallow did not used to weigh on me the way they do now. In 3 days 9 fellow aviators, men with families that many of us knew or knew folks who did, or just past on the way to the bird were lost doing what they loved.

So a moment of silence from me to honor their lives, deaths, and those they leave behind. Fly well Gentlemen and God bless you and yours.

And thanks to this board for letting me get that out.

Cheers,

Gary
