Louis stopped overnight at my home airport KSQI (Whiteside County Airport, Rock Falls, IL) on the way to OSH many years ago. I took some video of him and the plane before and during departure for OSH. We marveled at the beautiful workmanship on his KR. I remember that his exhaust system was particularly quiet.

While working on it one day, someone who had been driving down the nearby road came running over to ask me all kinds of questions about the plane. This fellow turned out to be Louie Brochetti, a boat builder. Louie's old plane lives on . . . ! Mike KSEE
