This is Doug Arnold (Warbirds of Great Britain)'s 44-63788 N166G in the colors used for the movie "Eye of The Needle" starring Donald Sutherland. Later sold to Stephen Grey, then Jean Salis, it went to Yves Duval before being destroyed in a 1998 crash at La Roche-sur-Yon in France.

Later a new build airframe using 44-63788's id has been under restoration in France for a long time although it is currently for sale by a party in Virginia.

Charles,

I grew up in Fallon. NV and watched Roger Wolfe on more than one occasion dusting crops in that farm community. He even sprayed our alfalfa once or twice. After graduating high school, a good friend of mine ( also a wingnut) worked for Roger as a flagger and loader in his agricultural spraying business. My buddy decided after working for others long enough that it was time to work for himself and he, too, became a crop duster. He eventually settled in Burley, Idaho where he owned and flew two Ag Cats. He worked hard to build a viable business, started a family but was tragically lost when his plane collided with another crop duster whose windshield was obscured with spray and oil.

As kids Roger Wolfe was known to me and my buddy. We were huge fans of his exploits. My buddy's parents were also plane owners and fliers so they also came know Roger. When Roger bought the Mustang in the early seventies I'd sometimes see him buzzing the terrain around our ranch. It was a hell of a thing to watch. Turns out he wasn't just tearing up the sky for fun but also working. It seems he was spraying the local ponds for mosquitos. If you look closely at the picture you can see the wingtip pipe. May be the only time a Mosquito and a Mustang ever tangled.

I really enjoyed your story of meeting Roger and I would like to contact him to ask a few questions about his planes and my friend.


Happy Landings

Oh my gosh, it's been nearly 10 years since I looked at this site. So amazing and gratifying to see all of the responses! Dad has been gone for now for 38 years and I can say for sure that he would be overwhelmed! This so cool!

Flew with Ron Hevle in Mangia Pane…early 80’s, after installing new avionics and breaking in the race engine. Inverted with the canopy rolled back was an experience…. Miss those times!

Why does it say case closed. Are HM people still communicating on here, I hope so. I am reading a book called The Perfect horse and it's about the Lippizzaner stallions of WWll. Didn't WPP or Roland buy a pair of them at a show in SF one year and have them transported to the ranch. I remember going to that show. I forgot about this site for many months and just thought of it. I was a personal secretary to Roland for quite some time and had the adventures of my life. Also Jeff Owens, I started out in the mailroom, I would love to hear more. Norman
