About my Tail Number
 | |
N727WB has been reserved for my plane. The 727 is my birthday and
it is a nice coincidence that my birthday has so many 7's in it. WB are the
initials of one of the most influential aviators in my life, my grandfather, Werner
Birkelbach. He was a glider pilot in WWII and took part in the D-day invasion
of Normandy as well as the invasion of Holland. He really gave me a lot of
encouragement when I was a kid learning to fly. He is now over 80 years old
and still has his medical certificate. He flys his LS4 sailplane (W4) on a
regular basis and tows in the club's Bellanca Scout and is enjoying retirement.
Go Papa, Love ya and I can't wait for you to fly N727WB!!
