Luscombe Endowment Offers Opportunity To WIN ME!

The not-for-profit Luscombe Endowment told ANN this week of its latest effort to spur aviation education, and preserve the classic planes... and it's a beaut.

Luscombe Aircraft preservation has restored a very rare T8F Luscombe, which will be rewarded as the Grand prize in the October 2008 WIN ME! Drawing. Only 3,000 tickets will be sold, at $40 apiece. Those who want more than one chance to win get a break -- at $100 for 3 tickets, and $300 for 10 tickets.

Eight additional prizes -- such as a Garmin GPS, and ICOM radio -- will also be awarded on October 25-26 at the Copperstate Fly-In in Arizona. Winners need not be present to win.

Proceeds from the drawing entries are used for prizes; for educational program support; for the delivery of accurate technical advice; and to facilitate parts availability for the vintage aircraft fleet.

"The Luscombe Endowment delivers essential technical information, difficult to obtain material(s), and rare component parts to the vintage aircraft industry," said Luscombe Endowment manager Doug Combs.

The "WIN ME" promotion is a continuation of those support programs conceived and originally implemented in 1992. Luscombe Endowment programs are advanced by more than 800 donors and regular supporters, plus the contributions of aviation foundations and businesses.

"Our vitality depends upon this public help, grants, and outside funding support," the Endowment writes.
