Just a note to congratulate Bill Scott on his meticulously rebuilt ‘46 120s selection as this years Grand Champion/Custom Classic. It only took 13 years but it is a work of art as well as a labor of love.
If you couldn’t tell, Bill’s is the Grey & Black flawless one on the right 8-)
Anyway, a great time was had by all and thanks to everyone who came by and visited.

Yes a great job on the restoration! I have been in touch with Bill at Sun & Fun past years at the type tent. His passion and attention to detail are remarkable. Thinking almost all panels removed and either repaired or replaced the people at Cessna in the late 40"s had no idea the love that would follow these planes. I hope Bill finds waxing cleaning and flying to be as rewarding as his labor of love building. GREAT JOB please keep in touch and hope to see you and your Florida group at our convention in Georgia.
