Hi,
I am a friend of Steve "Gurndog" Gurney. I flew F-15s and worked with Steve at Eglin until I retaired in 1997. I am considering buying my first plane and like the Thorp T18. Steve said you own one and would be the guy to talk to. Initially, I would like to know what you think of the plane.
Thanks,
Ron Hoover
