Free Spirit Julie Clark's Chevron Mentor T-34 Aircraft DVD Included 2009

You would think being a Captain for Northwest Airlines would satisfy one's desire to be in the air. Not so for Julie Clark! For over 28 years, after delivering business travelers and vacationers safely to their destination, you will still find Julie taking her love of aviation to new heights in her Chevron Mentor T-34 "Free Spirit," (N134JC). Retired from Northwest Airlines in 2004, after flying for the airlines and air shows concurrently for 25 years, Julie still continues to demonstrate her passion for aviation by performing in about 20 air shows each season.

Restoration fans will appreciate that Julie bought her Beechcraft® T-34A in 1976, "sight unseen" at a government surplus auction in Anchorage, Alaska, for $18,000. She flew the airplane, dubbed "Free Spirit," 2,900 miles to her home in California. Julie then personally began the painstaking process of restoring the hand-polished, aluminum airplane inside and out. "Over the next four years I spent many long hours bringing the airplane back to mint condition," says Clark, "and it requires daily maintenance to keep it that way."
