Decathlons and Champs I have known

Okay here it is. The plane I got my tail wheel endorsement in was N5057P, a '79 7GCAA currently registered to Alex Fussel in Douglas, GA
Flight aware shows the most recent flight of 2 minutes on Sep 2, 2018 but at the time owned by A&C AG aviation.

One grainy pic shown, found in a listing for it indicating 6735TT, 860SMOH. Says new fabric in 2010 which would be well after I flew it. White and blue with a red stripe now.
 
He lived on a little airport north of Tampa. Now in his eighties, he was my roommate in Huntsville in 1964. Helped fly MLK around Alabama. Wound up with a Beech 18 freighter operation. Interesting guy.

Never met him, but sounds like he has some cool stories.
