Florida OX5 Engine-Tilton & Beisner
THE DYNAMIC DUO
Jim Beisner, Nat Gov, has informed me that Dean Tilton of the Midwest Florida Wing is in the process of rebuilding the OX5 engine that was once on static display in their Lakeland Florida clubhouse.
They intend to run the engine at Sun-n-Fun as an educational display for the many thousands who attend the Airshow. The running OX5 engine should create much interest and garner a lot of free press, which is good for our organization.
Dean Tilton (91) has been working on the engine for several months and will soon be assisted by Jim Beisner when he heads South for the Winter. DGY
