Bruce Dunkle
Bruce Dunkle grew up building model WW-II airplanes and dreaming of flying. After earning private, commercial and instrument ratings in Alaska in 1984, the market for pilots was such that he ended up with a career in computer network engineering instead. Bruce has owned a Cessna 150 but still dreams of flying WW-II fighters. He is now in year 17 of his 12-year build of an all-wood, plansbuilt Tally-Ho 80% replica Spitfire MK1.
