| Tina Cord, e-mail, 22.09.2010 22:08 I just came from a bldg that has a sign posted "This building was the original home of Nicholas-Beazley Airplane Co. Today it is Conagra Foods". I don't know much about A /C's but would like to know if NB is a person's name or the name of an A /C?? and, has the spelling been mistakenly changed over the years by a typo?? reply |
| George Popa, e-mail, 02.04.2010 07:54 Just visited John Cowling in Montague,CA to bring him steel sculptures of some of the classic planes he restores and got to see his NB-8. It's complete and looks well cared for.
It's a small plane and has lots of charm. If anybody can make it like new,it's John. Have never seen one before. Lucky day. reply |

| Walt Calkins, e-mail, 06.03.2010 17:06 If anyone has knowledge of any blueprints, engineering drawings, etc. of an NB-8 I would like to know of them. I am part of a team rebuilding an NB-8 (N12518) and would very much appreciate knowing of any documentation available. After the rebuild the documents will most likely be donated to the museum in Marshall. reply |
