Re: KRnet> empty hangar
Many thanks old friend. I sent him an email on the net, you will see. Really sorry your health is not as good as a 21 year old. 😂. But sadly we are all getting older. I hope to have a few years left yet. ( fingers crossed on my health) I’m 65, ok at the present. I was hoping to see you. But can’t beat fate. How far from Oshkosh are you. Never know. I am spending two night at the Hilton at O’hare airport I think the 20 and 21 July. How far from there are you All the best Your mate Phil.

He is on the net and I'm confident he will respond. Larry Flesner -- KRnet mailing list KRnet@list.krnet.org https://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet
KRnet> question for old timers
A question for those around during the early days of the KR. There were two brothers or cousins with the last name of Campbell. I'm not sure of their first names. Was one of their names Keith and were they from the Midwest, Iowa to be more specific? The reason I ask is that a friend of mine took their RV10 fuel tank to a shop in Iowa for repair and one of the owners of the shop is Keith Campbell and he indicated he built a KR1 many years ago. I seem to recall hearing their names back in the 90's at different Gatherings. Inquiring minds want to know.

Keith was a close friend of Steve Bennet. The KR that Keith built was finished as a P51 if my memory serves me correct.

Re: KRnet> question for old timers
I could be wrong but it seems like I remember one was Al and the other was Cal or Calvin. I think they were brothers (twins perhaps?). I think Keith was a good friend of Steve Bennet. Think they use to fly their KR-1s together. Someone set me straight if all of this is a jumble of thoughts. Ed J.
