VIKING of the MONTH
July 2003
"Miss July"
N14696 is a 1974 17-31ATC owned by Dewey & Darla Elsik
This Viking is based in Georgetown, TX (07TS)
Dewey writes: "Here are a few pictures of my 74 17-31ATC. I bought it from Dave Moss in Lima, Montana in April of 1993. We flew it back between snow storms to Corpus Christi, Texas. I sold it to Michelle Berry in 1997. I had the opportunity to repurchase it recently and took her back home May 24th of this year. We live on a residential airpark in Georgetown, Texas now. This is the second Super Viking I have owned. N10DE was sold to accommodate the purchase of this Turbo Viking. It was a 17-31A. I had a conversation with its current owner recently and am convinced it is in great hands and back in Minnesota. Future plans for this airplane include a new engine and updated avionics. It feels great to be back in the Bellanca Saddle again!"
