Posted by Rob Mears on Sat Mar 08, 2003 01:41:56 AM

Here's a shot of (L-R) Mike Penketh, Orrin Carr, and Howard Pardue at the Tegucigalpa Air Base (December 1979) discussing their pending ferry flight of the first six Honduran Corsairs to Houston, Texas. The Corsairs in the background are all receiving new spark plugs prior to the 'mission'. Investors Howard Pardue & Bob Ferguson, along with flight leader Jim Nettle led the flight home in a twin Cessna. Ferry pilots were:

Harold 'Bubba' Beal
Orrin Carr
Bob Forbes
Mike Penketh
Ed Real
Lou Remschner

More to come...
