The picture was taken at EAA Chapter 172's strip near Augusta, Ga.

Default Greg Connell's -10

Although she's officially named 'Miss Ginger', after his beautiful wife, he mostly refers to the -10 as Bo Derek and has her shown as the tail art, which I'll add later. Here are two nice shots:


Dual Cheltons, a 430W, Sorcerer autopilot, PS Engineering audio panel, etc.



He has a 300 HP 'warmed up' IO-540 and Sam James cowl and plenum.

Actually, it's nose art:


Best,
