Actually, this is "Dr. Bird". Multi millionare, patented a bunch of medical equipment (baby respirator, etc). He has *numerous* planes and a lot of them have been modified with different engines (one time STCs). You should see the lakeside complex he has. I've flown over it a bunch of times and a bunch of guys here at work know him pretty well. He's quite a fellow. One quick Dr. Bird story (heard from a friend of his daughter)... one evening he had several folks over to dinner one of which was Harrison Ford. Later, after the guests left, his daughter asked him if he knew who Harrison Ford was. He said something to the effect of "I don't know who he is, all I know is he had a G** D*** earring!"

Reining, The FAA has an Alon (A-86, N103DB) listed that they think has a Lycoming 0-320? It is an experimental aircraft. I am not sure if the engine is correct or not because they have one aircraft they think is a Coupe with an R-985. I sure would like to see how they got that 450HP under the cowling. (This appears to be a coding error on aircraft type.) The owner for the Alon is listed as: BIRD FORREST M PO BOX 817 SANDPOINT, IDAHO 83864-0817 If you call Mr. Bird and get any details or pictures would you pass them on to me?
