Hello Vera and welcome,

Yes - it looks like a lady called Chris ("cwais") who is daughter of Windy Lou's pilot posted in this thread several years ago. You could try sending her a private message using the "PM" icon at the bottom of her post. However, the posts in this thread were more than five years ago, so there's no guarantee she'll receive an email notification of your message.

Good luck with finding more information on Windy Lou and her crew. I guess you already found the pictures of the aircraft in the thread linked above. Here's one other link with some further info: http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/5912.

You may find more by searching for the aircraft's full serial number: "42-31780". There may also be members here who can give you more practical advice on how to go about finding additional info on the aircraft and crew.

Cheers,
Nick
