"Mike" Wilson (94) of Cedar Rapids, IA.Mike was a fighter pilot (P-38 & P-39) in WWII, a successful businessman (Wilson Honda), a legendary motorcycle builder, racer, record holder (American Motorcyclist Association Hall of Fame inductee), sought after expert on Ryan PT-22 and Kinner engines, pilot, mentor and friend.Mike, along with the love of his life Margaret (deceased), were long time volunteers and donors here at Antique Airfield & the APM .We will miss Mike's counsel, help and boundless enthusiasm for life but imagine he is once again walking hand in hand with Margaret down a flightline somewhere, greeting old friends with a smile and a wave.
