Herb,
What a small world!! My wife is from Filer ( you know where that is, right)? My dad kept his plane based at Red Baron, which is now owned by Aeromark. His second Skymaster, also a 1967 model with turbocharged, intercooled engines, and a Robinson STOL kit, was kept up in Driggs. That airplane performed great, considering field elev. was approx. 6250'. That airplane was purchased from a gentleman up in Coeur d' Alene ID that was a parapalegic named Steve Soper(sp?). He flew the airplane in the airshow circuit, and had the tail #721SM. As far as I know, that plane is still based in Driggs, as the fellow my dad sold it to still lives there.
Fransisco,
Thanks for your concern regarding my aunt. Believe it or not, she lived for about 18 mo. before passing away due to the injuries sustained in that accident. It was a tragic experience from which I hope we can all learn something about proper ground operation practices. BELIEVE me, you don't want something like this to happen to you!!!
