My Bee has been sitting in pieces for 17 tears while I raised my family. I took her all apart stripped her paint inside and out and have partially reassembled her etched, alodined and primed the inside of the hull and all tail surfaces and have reassembled those pieces. I have also done the same for the gear and gear actuating system. She’s got a low time (Continental) IO-470 P and 1 & ½ propellers   There she sits,  in my basement and my buddies shop for the last seventeen years. Now the kids are grown and I am hoping to get her finished.

In addition to N6208K, the Bishops have recently purchased Seabee N6325K S/N 549. Someone said It is imperative that you have something to fly while you're building, rebuilding, or restoring to keep from going crazy. What better way to restore a Bee than to have a flying one in the same hangar. They will be restoring 08K and flying 25K out of the Durango CO area.
 

Bruce Sr., a private pilot, funded his son's flying lessons in the early seventies. After all the ratings, the US Marines, the Army Reserve flying choppers, night freight, and commuters, Bruce Jr. is now flying 787s for United out of SFO. With retirement rapidly approaching, there will be plenty of tIme to work on, and fly, the Seabees.

Hopefully in a few years they will have another nice machine to enjoy up in Wisconsin at Bruce Sr.'s summer home on Half Moon Lake near Tomahawk.

Interesting note from a previous owner:

"Hello, my name is Michael Wierzbicki.
I have some info for Bruce Bishop SR and JR. The plane they own is N6208k ser.# 408. It belonged to my grandfather. I sent them both an email, however the have not responded. I feel in this day of spam and pop ups they might accidentally looked over the message. I was hoping that ya'll might try to get in contact with them to let them know my intentions are to try to get them some background on the plane. I know I have at least one picture of it in canada, and will try to get more of them from my mother who lives out of state. Thank you in advance."

This Seabee was fully restored by Bob Redner of Cass Lake, Michigan and was featured in Sport Aviation Magazine in 1987. Unfortunately, a great deal of Bob's fine work was undone by a wheels on the water landing in 2000.  Taking pity upon the poor beast, I purchased it and began the very slow process of restoring it.  It's coming along nicely.

Here is some updated info on N33CS Ser.# 994 She now lives on Cape Cod and is owned and taken care of by Bruce Bourgeois
(or does she own me!) The picture shows her new home.
 
P.S. She seems to love the Cape but I think she may spend next winter in Labell Florida. She and I hate the cold.
