I don't know if he ever worked for NWA, but he did have a previous KR. He sold it to a guy that crashed it at Herlong Airport in Jacksonville shortly after right after takeoff. I think it was five or so years ago. I read the NTSB report and a friend of mine went to inspect the wreckage with the FAA investigator because he was familiar with the KR. Seems the guy was on his first flight or two with an instrctor that had never been in a KR and they were way over weight and out of C.G. The report said that they both refused to give any statement to the NTSB. Obviously, the crash was the fault of the guy who bought it, not Bill's construction.

I met a Bill, back then that had a Turbo KR2. I made a trip to the airport today and set the plane up to fly, checked radio's, preflight and the like and the winds were 90 degrees across the runway at 17 knots.
