Elliott and his wife Joyce, also of MST-7, were going to look at the Beechcraft Bonanza Norman won in an AOPA sweepstakes. Norman Elliott, a pilot/flight instructor won the completely refurbished 34-year-old plane as a member of the 380,000 strong organization. The plane is awaiting FAA certification for its advanced avionics before it can be delivered to the Elliotts.Inset photo: One perk of being a prizewinner is the chance to fly right seat in the Cessna business jet.
