Wilson only bought the FBO part of Fletchair. Since then they have 
moved out of Houston Hobby to Comfort TX. They still are "the" place 
to get get Grumman parts. For as long as I've owned my Tiger (2000) 
Dave Fletcher has been running Fletchair who is the son. I think the 
real owner all the time was his mother (Mabel?) who was quite the 
pilot/instructor/operator. At last year's Grumman convention in 
Fredericksburg TX she got the award for "Outstanding Contributions" 
and gave a long speech of stories from her years at Fletchair. I think 
she still has her CFI and she is certainly 80'ish. Quite a character.
