VIKING of the MONTH
July 2001
"Miss July"
N8229R is a 1972 17-30A owned by Bill Dudley
This Viking is based in Bowie, TX (0F2)
Bill writes: "Here's the former "Miss April" of 2000, with new paint and seats! In addition, we've had a complete top overhaul on the engine due to the previous owner's lack of flight time the preceding two years. We've also installed an air/oil separator and most all avionics have been reworked. Due to some hazing and cracks at the defroster area, we also replaced the windshield. Upcoming projects for this summer include; a redo of the rear seats and carpet, and replacing the rear side glass."
"I now have about 160 hours in the airplane and it is flying very nicely...what a dependable machine! Not bad for just a little over a year, I'll now see some of you guys at the fly-ins!"
