Glenn Kruggel says “I retired after 33 years, and moved back to my roots in California where I spent the next three years building houses.

I bought a Bellanca Decathlon for aerobatics and started building a Vans RV-4. The RV4 took me 10 years to complete. When that was finished, and with the urging of my wife we moved to Las Vegas NV as fully retired.

I flew the RV4 for 12 years until I hit some power lines chasing motor cycles over the desert. While pretty much damaged, I was able to land at a nearby airport. This was it. !!! I sold the wreck. My wife of 55 years grounded me and I took up playing golf again.”
