I’ve been lucky to be Leonard’s Neighbor for the past 8 years. Quite a guy with incredible stories from WW2. I believe he turns 100 this year.

@straybullitt Жыл бұрын

I was recently wondering about Leonard, and then this video popped up. I'm so happy to see that he is doing well! 🙂 Please give him my best wishes the next time that you see him. Just from some random guy who purchased a set of his airframe and engine plans 30 years ago.

If it’s not too much trouble i was wondering if you could ask him if i could build one to handle a 280 pound pilot.. if so what he would recommend.. i would love to build one

I’m so glad to see Leonard is still doing well! I stopped by his place there about 6 years ago and spent about an hour talking to him there in Brookshire, Tx. I live about an hour south of him. He mentioned he was one of the last living WW2 pilots. I took pictures and asked questions. Even checked out the old sedan in the hanger. One of the nicest gentleman you’ll ever meet. Thanks for this video!

@subzero5101 6 ай бұрын

Wow now thats one hell of a guy. I feel privileged to have those little gifts of knowledge he just bestowed us. Its worth watching again because those weren't just little tips those were things that took him 100 years to figure out so if he found them important to impart then i guarantee you they are words to live by. Im a general contractor and engineer and i believe everyone has something to teach you however there are some people that have everything to teach you. Hes one of those special ones.

God bless this man! I met Leonard at Osh 2018 (my first time there) and he was so kind and generous with his knowledge that I bought a set of XL plans when I got home. Still building it and learning as I go along, it's been a fun journey! 99 years old, wow! I'm definitely going to Osh this year and look forward to seeing him again! Quick question, did he show you how the wing fold works on the Cabin Eagle? I'm really curious as I'm doing the wing fold mod on my XL.

It's gotta be tough to get that old and still be healthy as he mentioned he's outlived his wife and good friends. I rekkon that's why he stays so busy. Helps to be occupied to keep your mind fresh and your muscles moving!
