Some of the TigerFlight team members
with Mr. Bob Ormsby, President of the Aviation
Museum at Marietta Georgia.
Dreams do come true! The 1943 C-47 transport
aircraft also known as the sky train that
has been adopted by TigerFlight and was
to be used as a classroom only for our children's
program might just fly again! The TigerFlight
C-47 not unlike the phoenix of myth may
rise from the ashes. Through the generosity
of Captain Chad Koppie, the aircraft's owner,
new engines have been acquired and the C-47
might just be seen in flight at an air show
near you. "We have along way to go yet,
but through the efforts of the TigerFlight
pilots, crew and supporters the flight of
the C-47 could be a reality within the next
year", said Chad Koppie.
News Flash:
Tiger Lady wakes up!!!!
The engines have fired off with no problem.
The next step for Tiger Lady, per Captain
Koppie, is that in December she will have
a wing off AD, hydraulic system check and
a full system check. Then after an FAA inspection,
Tiger Lady should take flight sometime in
February or March.
Have you ever noticed that those that say
it can't be done are constantly being interrupted
by someone doing it!!
If you have the desire to get involved
in this project or any other TigerFlight
mission please contact Tom Calvanelli-Vice
President of Operations 404-312-6566

The four TigerFlight aircraft have been
painted with a new paint scheme designed
by
taylormultimedia.com. Through the generosity
of supporters the monies have been raised
for the paint.
