Hello,
First let me
introduce myself. My name is Joseph Junker and I live in south central
Alaska. I built and own N179WT which I'm sure you have seen in the
photo gallery as (one 'tired' Rebel).
In the
past I would communicate with Robin or Colleen Dyck but it is my
understanding that they have left Murphy. All said, I thought I would
pass along some pictures to you. I am sure they will get where they
belong. Niner Whiskey Tango is now over 11 years old with over 1,100
hrs. It has been from Alaska to North Carolina and still going strong.
In the land of the renowned Super Cub she is getting a reputation of
being not only a capable little pickup truck but a bush flying
competitor as well. I would never take anything away from a great
airplane like the cub but it seems, anything they can do so can the Rebel,
and, as
you will see in the pictures, it can
do a few things they can't.
Last fall during our
moose hunt, our hunting buggy broke in half. Pictures 026 and 029 are
of the broken 1950 Chevy rear-end lashed to the float for transport and
repair. It's good to see a Rebel
with an
external load. As Murphy (no pun intended) would have it, while I
welded most of the night so I could get back to camp with the repaired
part early, a 56" bull was taken early the next morning. So it went,
put the buggy back together then start flying meat, gear, and people.
The next couple of
photo's 093 and 094 have to do with the earlier claim that the Rebel
can do
some things a cub can't. Just try to place a 56" moose rack inside a
cub! This has always been an impressive little airplane and it
never ceases to amaze me. Probably the only real negative is the fact
that the interior is so big it can easily be overloaded. It becomes
very easy to say "Ah, it's only one more hind quarter - we've got
room." !
Just thought these might interest somebody, Thanks, Joseph
