I have not personally met anyone that knows as much about the Blackbird as Dan Freeman.
Not only is he a wealth of knowledge with respect to the Blackbird and its history, he also knows about the intricacies of the B120VCA Titanium material and its workability. Amazing stuff.

Thanks Dan for not just keeping the dream alive, but allowing some of us to obtain a true piece of this incredible machine and at a very fair price. Dan, his history with the Blackbird, and his products are the real deal. Jim R.
