N7627C was completed by Chuck Baynard of Suffolk VA in September 2008.   It has a newly overhauled A-65 with new Millenium cylinders and a new Sensenich wooden prop.  Chuck did it all, including the covering and painting.  Of the first flight, he writes:  "I was amazed at 
how well it flew and how solid it felt.  The first landing was a little exciting, but the gear was still in place after rollout, so I 
call that a good start."

N5261S was built by Russell Sharp...as was the mini-Fly Baby.  The big Fly Baby's first flight was in 2007.

N187BB is now owned by Vaughn Roberts. He formerly owned N175X, sold it, but the attraction was still there.  He bought N187BB as a replacement.  This Fly Baby was built in 1997.

N7178F is owned by Don Profota of Bozeman, Montana.  The plane was built in 1991.  It has a gorgeous maple panel. 

C-GVSB "Chuckbird" is the third Fly Baby of the Victoria Squadron.  John Gibbons is the owner.
