That's my grandfather, Bill Woods, with his staggerwing!!!!!! He's the one with the cig hanging from his mouth.

Very cool!!

Bob Hoff now owns that plane and I've ridden in it since he restored it!

I have a ton of pics of him but don't seem to have that one. Would love a copy of that picture, Whee.

Edit: Nevermind I just emailed Aeromark.

I am considering going. Anyone else attending from SW Idaho?

Lori from Mccall will be giving some backcountry presentations.

i will be around a bit both days whee...hope to see ya there...both Lori and Pete from challis will be there i believe....!

I have in laws visiting......timing is everything.

Bob and Jane Hoff are some of the nicest folks you will ever meet, and they are a big part of putting this gig together.

I sincerely hope lots of folks attend and help to make this a successful and long running event. Maybe next year for me.

As is their son Thomas!! He's sending me a poster of the Expo ad and an article he wrote on my grandfather for the Staggerwing Club. Very generous!

Sorry for the thread drift Whee.

Enjoy the event fellas. Wish I could make it. Think I'll have to put it on the schedule for next year.

No worries! Sorry I was out of pocket and didn't respond. Glad you are getting a poster of the pic you wanted!

Beautiful picture, especially with the Beech. I sure wish there were still trees there...used to be a nice bit of shade to get away from the snakes in.

Where was that picture taken?

I should take that in, I've been wanting to see it without the foggles anyway.

I spent 14 hours today at Aeromark fixing a wounded Sovereign. Bob waited on me hand and foot, helped extract a frozen screw and told me stories about his gorgeous airplane collection. What an outstanding fellow!!!!

He's taking the Beech 18 to Driggs tomorrow. What a lucky fellow!!!
