Hi Steve !

It's Rick Abbott's - we did all the test flying & checkout
from Gander International, several years ago. When he had
the 'fire hazard', the engine warnings gave him enough time
to set it down in a pond. I think he replaced the exhaust &
flew it out the following week.

As far as I know, he's still flying happily on Murphy
1800 amphibs - at least 7 years now.

There are many Rebels in Newfoundland. I think
the town of Grand Banks has the highest number of
Rebels per capita in the world !! ;-) :-)
( 7 of them in the town, last count !)

Bob,

Is that really Grand Banks on the Burin peninsula on the south of Nfld
or Grand Falls to the west of Gander? Amazing in both case - just a lot
more amazing if its Grand Banks. : )
