As you know, one goal of our site is to locate and connect with all current Hinckley Pilot 35 owners and to update the master list from the Danilek’s 1984 book, “Pilot 35.”   Please take a moment and review our Pilot Names page and send any updates you might have to us at hinckleypilot35@gmail.com.  Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you.

CYGNUS recently provided information to help us update our Pilot Name list for the Chilean Pilots.  He has an interesting blogspot http://yate-cygnus.blogspot.com that contains news, historical information, and pictures of the the Chilean Pilots.
