Hi Jim
Donna-Mite has changed a bit since those photos were taken. While we were at Sky Harbour painting SL721 Dick James had brought the side cowls off of Donna-Mite back and John Edward was trying to re-do the Yellow and Black checkers and also re-painted the shadowing on the "Donna-Mite" logo in Yellow. I didn't get to see Dick James when he came to pick them up but I did have lunch with him and John Edward back in Feb. when he came to pick the Mustang up. He is a real nice guy and invited me to visit him at Oshkosh. He insisted that I sit in the cockpit of his Mustang and he took some photos of me with my camera. I had to leave that night and didn't get to see him fly out the next day.
Cheers
Bob S.
