    Charles is like the Jay Leno of old airplanes. What he has, runs and he knows the history behind it as well as the unique stories that had me wondering, “How will he top the story he just told?” A gentleman, a great story teller, a living history museum, and a Texan. The best of everything.

    My friend Don Lockwood joined IMAC in 1921 at age 10. His dad was a case associate of Sam Insull and thus quite wealthy. He presented his son in 1927 with an Hisso powered surplus Standard. In return Don would make occasional flights from Chicago to Windsor Ontario for renewal of liquor supplies for his dad's private use. Don would navigate by the railroad tracks and if he returned after dark picking up the light from the steel mills was all he needed to get back to the south side field. His dad lost a great deal with the market crash so Don went to the steel mills to work and a bit later to Matty Laird's company at Orchard field.

    Absolutely the most interesting gentleman you have had on. My Dad was from the era and flew many of those types. The stories he told were very similar and brought back good memories. My Dad built the Studebaker engine plant in Detroit, during the war, and rolled the wheels of a Bathtub Eronica on the roof one day and when he got back to the airport the police were waiting for him. Had to prove he was the superintendent on the job, and they let him off. Of course, sense he flew I had to also and flew 42 years. I am so glad there are those that can keep this history going.
    Cheers to him,

I'm enjoying seeing the airplane come back to it's original form. Pete used to mention possibly removing the turtle deck when it came time to restore her. Unfortunately, that time never came. I spent a good bit of time in the CTO as well after Gordon sold it. It was well cared for and very much enjoyed! Great memories all around! Best of luck to you and enjoy the WACO's!!

    That Seville. Literally driven only by a little old lady on Sundays. 😂
    In about '77, a call went out for the public to come help disassemble the B-36 sitting at Greater Southwest. I used to see it regularly from I-30. My friend and I went out. The airport long closed housed a truck driving school. We maybe turned a half dozen screws but we spent hours crawling over and through the bomber. The last thing we did was get out on the runway after dark and pegged the speedo on my VW.
    My days with CAP and airshows at Grayson County, Meacham Field. Meeting what I count as celebrities like Art Scholl, Charlie Hillard and even Bob Hoover. Sadly my dreams culminated in a few dozen hours that ended with Army and life getting in the way. But I still have my PC and heroes like my dad and brother-in-law to live vicariously through. Now my eldest grandson is a pilot and on his way to a career. ❤ Texas.

    Jimmy,
    Beyond the shadow of a doubt, THE Best video ever.
    The level of knowledge of aviation history is astounding.
    I could listen to him for hours.

    Great video, I totally enjoyed it! I was never a pilot but I was a door gunner on a Marine Corps helicopter during my first tour in Vietnam.
