1963-Apr-JoeTucker-Closeup.jpg	1963 April, Mitchell Field (now closed) near Lombard Illinois - We believe this to be the first owner of N6030X, Joe Tucker, who bought the plane in 1960 and kept it until 1968. The photo was found by Todd Nessel, whose father was a CFI and took him for his first flight at 3 weeks of age in this airplane.	1968-1970 Sometime during that period, somewhere in the Bahamas, possibly Nassau. This is Richard Ott, who owned the plane from 1968 to 1991.
