    I have been in contact with Chilly Billy ever since I met him for this interview. A great guy and an Ambassador for Christ.

      Dear C,
      Bill and I have been in touch ever since I did that first movie. He is part of a fine Christian Quartet.
      They are talking about having a Fly-In at his house this Summer and I will do my best to make it there.
      It will be quite a cross country for me if I can do it.

      Dear Mr. Less,
      You are actually communicating with the guy that made the movie. Bill Chilcoat is the flyer. Last email I got from him indicated he is still in Mounds. Whether he is flying the Hopper lately, I don't know. You'll have to contact him directly.

    Duke Prichard was my Weedhopper instructor.

    Sad to see Light sport movement destroyed UL flying and greatly shrank the amount of flyers and safety of us who do fly.
