Well Known Member
Nick was one of the originals. He knew Van from pre-Oshkosh. He built/restored 8 airplanes including two RV-6's and a Thorp T-18 (which is for sale at http://home.cogeco.ca/~n17hh/T18/index2.html). He taught himself aerobatics. He was an EAA technical counselor, a neighbor and friend at KDET. His encouragement helped me finish my 7A. Nick did first flight in his final airplane, a RV-6, on his 85th birthday in 2005 or thereabouts.
Nick was a veteran of WWII in the Pacific, driving small amphibs. He was an early member of EAA Chapter 13. He will be missed.
