Thanks,

Welcome to the club! Where exactly is the plane located? I'm in Arlington, between Dallas and Ft. Worth. I may know someone where it's located. I might also know someone to fly it to California for you, too. Lots of commercial pilots running around here without work. Some may even fly for food.

I was working in Sydney for most of last year and brought my wing with me to fly at Stanwell Park. Great location - beach landing, sea eagles doing mock attack drills on each other and steady lift.

I'm Philip Mitchell, and I am in Arlington, Texas. I am not an A&P mechanic, and don't know anyone in Corsicana, but I'll ask around.
See you at Clinton.

I've talked to a couple of people, and everyone is too busy to go to Corsicana. I still have one call that hasn't been returned. Just curious. And...you say it's NEAR Corsicana. is it actually at KCRS?

I just purchased a plane from the Dallas area and advise against using US Aviation in Denton. On a happier note, I flew down commercial to pick it up, and flew it back to the DC area. Sixteen hours of flying and a very memorable trip !
