Bob Saville left quite a legacy, Spook. The Oregon Ercoupe Erforce still meets the last Sunday of every month. Sometimes many come, sometimes few. But it is there Every Month. And the Independence EAA chapter is a class act. The 14 Nieuports were constructed by 13 build teams - each team had a plane at the end, and the last one went on eBay for over eighteen grand. I worked on the Independence Flyer, which should be getting finished up this year. It will again go on eBay. Remember `em all fondly, I do. -----Original Message----- From: Georgia Trehey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 3:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COUPERS-FLYIN] ERCOUPE TURNOUT! ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I don't know why that would be, but it seems like Oregon folks are much more actively involved in aviation. Remember Bob Saville's Ercoupe fly-ins? He could get quite a few people out to his little grass strip. Another example that you probably all have read about is the Noon Patrol in Independence OR. They are the EAA Chapter 292 guys that collectively built several - 14 or 15 ? replica Nieuport 11s to completion. Amazing organizational skills and spirit of cooperation among those guys. I am a Calfornia native, but I have to say, I can't imagine a group of Californians pulling that off. Sorry. No offense intended. Just reporting what I have observed. (Exception is the Golden West Regional Fly-In at Yuba County Airport. Those CA folks put on an excellent event.)
