We are happy to welcome Larry Maner back as a club member in 2005. Larry is a long time light plane flyer and enthusiast. Since these photos were taken, Larry has sold the plane shown in these photos.  However, since this is the only photo we currently have of Larry, we'll leave it on here for awhile longer.   

     Larry is shown above having just dropped in for a late afternoon visit with his beautiful Challenger single-place aircraft.  He kept this bird polished to a high gloss ... as you can see!

    Here's one of Larry over open country on a jaunt to several local airports.  We buzzed the field at Lexington County (Gaston), and then flew within a few miles of Swansea on the way to Tom Poole's grass strip.  We had a great time!

    Above, Larry has just landed at Tom Poole's nice country strip.  It's narrow, uphill and a bit challenging ... but loads of fun!  The approach is over a nice country lake ... on which several men were fishing in a boat on this particular day.  This is just the kind of thing we enjoy about flying light sport aircraft ... landing on this type of green grass strip on a beautiful fall-like day out in the country.  It's hard to beat! 

    Here's Larry's NEW plane!  It's a clipped wing Challenger. These photos were taken on January 26, 2005 ... as it was being flown to its new home at Trenton by Mike Herlihy.

    Here's Mike after having just arrived from Bishopville, SC. He began his journey in Dillon, SC earlier in the day. Although you can't tell it, it was a quite windy day ... with gusts in the 20-25 mph range.  Mike had a headwind the whole way back to Trenton.

    We hope to be getting more photos of Larry with his plane in the future.

And finally, a rear view of the plane.  Note the "N" number.
