Tim Bloomquist's Fishers and Maranda

Early Friday morning a fleet of vehicles headed south on Hwy 75, our first stop was to meet Tim Bloomquist and his Fishers. Tim, family and friends greeted us warmly and after a fantastic meal of Joe’s Sloppy Joe’s surrounded by airplane parts we walked over to another building filled with airplanes: 
a. a Maranda Falconer and 
b. four different types of Fishers, including a Fisher Super Koala! 

We were able to see the Fisher’s plywood clad construction and the unique wooden latticework covering the wings. It was fascinating to learn that the latticework is a substitute for drag and anti-drag wires.
