ABOUT ME
I first found my love of the Bellanca Super Viking's back in May of 1998 when I purchased my 1972 17-30A N8281R.
I made a trip from Texas to Ohio in it and while up in Akron, OH I had a fuel line break. I had the FBO there do the repair and when I picked up the plane I asked why so much for a fuel line? He told me he had no information or manuals on the plane and had to do a lot of research in order to fix it.
So on the 5.5-hour trip home, I came up with the idea to have a website with all the information on it to help out other Bellanca drivers that could find themselves in the same situation as I did.
In 2005 the factory was bankrupt and I had a concern for parts availability. So I purchased a Bellanca that had a major incident in California and brought it back to Texas. Once I got home I realized that maybe I had to many parts now.
So I decided to add a parts page on my web site and I started selling used parts. My goal has always been to make aviation as affordibale as one can.
I first started flying back in 1981 and then purchased a 1968 Pipper 140 in 1982. After selling it many years later I bought my Bellanca Super Viking and went on to get my instrument and commercial license in the Bellanca and then a multi rating. I have logged over 1200 hrs in my Viking since my purchase.
I enjoy flying and talking about them so feel free to call, text or email me at any time.
