Current OWNERS and ORGANIZATION
Rick Roessler and Jack Wilkerson are the original members of FLYING ADVENTURES. Both Rick and Jack
owned Tri-Pacers and were making frequent trips together to Baja. They also had a mutual interest in owning
an economical yet higher performance high wing aircraft with better cruise speed and fuel range.
A Cessna 175B without the original GO-300 Continental geared engine (converted to either a Franklin or Lycoming) was
chosen as the aircraft to meet this criteria. In August 2000 a 1961 Cessna 175B, with a new (mid time)
Lycoming 180 hp engine, was purchased for Flying Adventures with Rick and Jack as co-owners.
