Stan, Thanks for the added history, come join the TW groups. Dennis in Chicago...blizzard coming Dennis, No I did not share this with the group.I didn't know there was a group till I stumbled on your post and noticed that you were talking about my famous airplane.Mr.McCaulou and I had talked at length on the phone about 9052C and he had purchased it from a man in my home state of Alabama. I commented that it would be back soon.How sad that he and his friend lost their lives the day before it was to make the journey.I did buy another TW and still have it.It is a W-8 and looks a lot like the Red one that Steve Wittman flew.I will enclose a pic of it,And to answer your Question,I would be proud to let you share the info I sent you with the rest of the group. Good luck weathering your blizzard and thank you for honoring me with a reply! Best Wishes, Stan Roberts ----- Original Message ----- From: sstanroberts@aol.com To: undisclosed-recipients: Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 11:57 PM Subject: 9052C I was going thru tailwind archives and noticed you had written about Steve's 2nd built Tailwind.I Was the one that had purchased that airplane from a Mr. A.E.McCaulou. He was going to have it flown to me by a friend of his that flew for United and had aprox 3,000 hrs in Tailwinds.The word I received was that the determining factor in the engine loss was water in the gas. The reason they crashed was posible wind shear causing the plane to sink to fast and the right wing clipped a tree flipping the plane. both men died inthe accident,the pilot at the scene and the man I purchased the plane from at the hospital from burns.A picture of 9052C is attached.Also when Steve Wittman crashed in Jackson county Alabama in his O to O , the FAA used my tailwind and plans as a template to figure out what happened. I have part of the salvage of that plane.It was kept at Pryor field-Decatur/Athens airport.
