May 2001
"Miss May"
N4062B is a 1975 17-31ATC owned by Russell and Rusty Viers
This Viking is based at Mission Field in Livingston,
MT (LVM)
Rusty writes: "N4062B is a 1975 17-31ATC. Based at (LVM) Mission Field in Livingston, Montana. Owned by Russell and Rusty Viers, father and son. Russell has been a private pilot with an instrument rating for over twenty years. Rusty is a commercial pilot with multi engine, instrument, and flight instructor ratings with twenty years of flying."
"Having been partners in a Cherokee Six, and now owning a Turbo Viking since January, 2000 we truly value and appreciate the great design feature of the Bellanca Viking. An aircraft that was years ahead of itself and to this day has to be recognized as one of the best offerings to general aviation."
"Our plane has about 400 hours to TBO, is moderately stacked avionics wise, has a few cracks in the paint, and needed a lot of TLC after we purchased her, but we have every intention of continuing to invest in her by way of eventual upgrades. We are very happy with her performance and there is not another aircraft that could come close to being in the same market as the Bellanca Super Viking."
"Thank you to all who help to make the Viking a special experience and thank you Tom, for working to maintain this wonderful web page. It is a grand contribution."
Thanks Rusty! Rusty can be reached at:
