Help for the identification of a plane

Wait, let me add one more name to the list; the pilot was (Dangerous) Dan Bossard. Dan would fly anything (day or night) just to get us to altitude. I checked my logbook, it appears that we regularly did 16-ways out of the 10E. Take care.

Hello Aile, My name is Gary Holbrook, and I can give you information on the plane in the photo. It is most certainly a Locheed 10E, and the photo was taken out at Raeford, NC during August of 1978. The photo was taken by Andy Keech, by attaching an Olympus camera to a boom in front of the nose of the airplane (the boom was airbrushed out of the photo). I had broken my wrist a week or so before this photo was taken, so I was not fortunate enough to be in some of his first 10E photographs. This plane is also on the inside front cover of Skies Call 2, and and also used for photos 42-48. I was fortunate enough to be in a few photos that were taken during the following weekends (you can see the cast on my right hand on photo 44). At the time the plane was owned by both Bobby Frierson and Gene Paul Thacker, if my memory serves me corrrectly. A few of the names in the cover photo: Phill Rogge, Mike Griggs, Mike Morasuke, Matt O'Gwynn, Ed Christy, Dave Mangis, Bill Mathews, and Pat Van Bibber. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any other questions.
