Hello everyone,
It's been a while so I thought I would send you some images of the progress on the ship.

"We are still working on the doors at the moment and getting ready to cover the vertical fin and rudder as soon as we have some cooler weather. The wind shield (wind screen for you Trev.) is done and is ready to install.

"Thanks to Rose for the fine work on the seats, side panels, and headliner.
"You may notice that we are naming her "Amelia" after my grandmother's 3rd cousin Amelia Earhart. I thought it would be a fitting tribute.
Take care.
Rick"

Alex,
Hello I'm Scott Thompson... Rick's oldest son. I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your hard work on updating blogs on my father's 1934 Fairchild project "Amelia". I know it's been a long-time project. But it's now been moved out to the hanger in Zelwood, Florida at the beautiful Bob White's Airstrip. The engine needs to be overhauled and mounted to the fuselage. Hopefully sometime within a year the "Holy Grail of projects" will be completed. And we can get back to doing what we love to do best..... FLY! I do have a few newer pictures if you would like. They're not that recent but they're not that terribly old either. Please do contact me if your interested in those pictures.
Take care,
Scott Thompson
