 Jeff
Gray sent in some pictures of Eric Whittred's Flybaby, C-GWIZ. GWIZ
sports a nose stretched two inches to accommodate Eric's six foot three
frame. A sliding canopy makes Canadian winter flying less of an ordeal.

Fly Bay a number of years back, and it has graced several magazine covers.
He and his co-owner, Bob Gauld-Galliers, recently re-worked their Fly Baby
into something far different, though.... |

 Bill
Turner was legendary in the homebuilding community for building replicas
