Congrats, Tom. Hate to see it leave the U.S. but such is life.
I'll always have fond (but embarrassing) memories of your plane when at Clinton a few years ago, I removed your top cowling so I could see first hand the installed Sparrowhawk baffling thinking your plane was Matt Willet's......God how embarrassing.
God only knows the thoughts that were going through your mind as you walked up on the above scene......I'm not sure how I would have reacted if the rolls had been reversed.
I'm lucky you didn't knock my lights out and drop me where I stood.
May your future 182 partnership work out well for both sides and the plane is everything that you hope for.
Jim
