Rebuilding a Hughes TH-55A
VHPA Life Member Haywood "Pete" Norman purchased a TH-55A
(67-16946)
he flew during primary training (70-19/21) from a dealer in Mineral
Wells, TX.
He has trucked it home to his new hangar at his home in
Lebanon, TN, in anticipation of rebuilding it to its former glory.
MSVHPA President Chris Horton has met with Pete and seen firsthand the
challenge that this rebuild presents . Chris would like to gauge the
interest in
MSVHPA members in participating in this rebuild. Please let Chris know
if
you are interested, since, once completed, there might be a little
"stick time" available!
